In this work, we present three different methods for cleaning noise from automatically generated bilingual dictionaries: LLR, pivot and transliteration based approa...

We respond to questi...

A quantitative comparative study of homonymy in four well-known electronic Spanish dictionaries—EuroWordNet and three traditional dictionaries—is presented. It is shown that though structuring of word senses is quite different in all dictionaries under comparison, EuroWordNet differs from the traditional dictionaries much more than these differ from each other.
