Mapping Roget's Thesaurus and WordNet to French
نویسندگان
چکیده
Roget’s Thesaurus and WordNet are very widely used lexical reference works. We describe an automatic mapping procedure that effectively produces French translations of the terms in these two resources. Our approach to the challenging task of disambiguation is based on structural statistics as well as measures of semantic relatedness that are utilized to learn a classification model for associations between entries in the thesaurus and French terms taken from bilingual dictionaries. By building and applying such models, we have produced French versions of Roget’s Thesaurus and WordNet with a considerable level of accuracy, which can be used for a variety of different purposes, by humans as well as in computational applications.

Word Sense Disambiguation in Roget's Thesaurus Using WordNet
We describe a simple method of disambiguating word senses in Roget's Thesaurus using information about the sense of the word in WordNet. We present a few variations on this method, compare their performance and discuss the results. We explain why this type of disambiguation can be useful.
متن کاملA Comparison of WordNet and Roget's Taxonomy for Measuring Semantic Similarity
This paper presents the results of using Roget's International Thesaurus as the taxonomy in a semantic similarity measurement task. Four similarity metrics were taken from the literature and applied to Roget's. The experimental evaluation suggests that the traditional edge counting approach does surprisingly well (a correlation of r=0.88 with a benchmark set of human similarity judgements, with...
متن کاملEvaluation of Automatic Updates of Roget's Thesaurus
abstract Keywords: lexical resources, Roget's Thesaurus, WordNet, semantic relatedness, synonym selection, pseudo-word-sense disambiguation, analogy Thesauri and similarly organised resources attract increasing interest of Natural Language Processing researchers. Thesauri age fast, so there is a constant need to update their vocabulary. Since a manual update cycle takes considerable time, autom...
متن کاملForming an Integrated Lexical Resource for Word Sense Disambiguation
This paper reports a full-scale linkage of noun senses between two existing lexical resources, namely WordNet and Roget's Thesaurus, to form an Integrated Lexical Resource (ILR) for use in natural language processing (NLP). The linkage was founded on a structurally-based sense-mapping algorithm. About 18,000 nouns with over 30,000 senses were mapped. Although exhaustive verification is impracti...
