Title Towards Automatic Evaluation of WordNet Synsets
 
Creator RAMANAND, J

Description Increasing and varied applications of WordNets call for the creation of methods to evaluate their quality. However, no such comprehensive methods to rate and compare WordNets exist. We begin our search for WordNet evaluation strategies by attempting to validate synsets. As synonymy forms the basis of synsets, we present an algorithm based on dictionary definitions to verify that the words present in a synset are indeed synonymous. Of specific interest are synsets in which some members "do not belong". Our work, thus, is an attempt to flag human lexicographers' errors by accumulating evidences from myriad lexical sources.
