1. WORDNET Approach on word sense techniques - AKILAN VELMURUGAN

2. What is WORDNET  Machine readable semantic dictionary interlinked by semantic relations  Developed by PRINCETON University  Large lexical database for English language  Language forms a scale free network with small average shortest path having words as nodes and concepts as links source: http://wordnet.princeton.edu/

3. Use of wordnet  Easily navigable  Used as online dictionary for English  Freely for public availability  structure to show relations in the form of  - noun, verb, adjective, adverb  - synonymn  - hypernym (Is a kind of …)  - hyponym (… is a kind of)  - troponym (particular ways to …)  - meronym (parts of...)  WORDNET Application WORDNET Application source: http://wordnet.princeton.edu/

5. Using RDF Schema and OWL ontology Wordnet classes and properties are represented as wn:word and wn:wordsense Source: www.w3.org/.../WNET/wordnet-sw-20040713.html

11. Represented using Force Graph Structure Presentation of words and meanings as graph nodes, and relations as edges between them Source: www. code.google.com/p/synonym/

15. Flow of study  Background study on wordsense  word ontology  Word Sense Disambiguation  Variable lexical notation for a concept  i-level generic notation  i-level specific notation  Semantic relatedness in WSD  Experiment Results  Thesaurus as a complex network  Visual Interface for wordnet Visual Interface for wordnet WORDNET – synsets – word ontology – set algebra – rules for representing lexical notations – semantic relatedness between concepts – concept distribution statistics – Degree of semantic relatedness :: WSD – Word Sense Disambiguation – semcor – Test cases – WSD on a complex network – WSD in English Thesaurus – Future work Source: http://kylescholz.com/projects/wordnet

16. Wordnet – common sense ontology  Symbols are words  Concept meanings are synsets  Represented by one or more wods  Words used for representation: synonymns  Synonyms and polysemous word  Synset comprises a list of words and a list of semantic relations between other sysnsets.  Part I – list of words each one with a list of synsets that the word represents  Part II – set of semantic relations between synsets(is-a, part-of, substance-of, member-of)

17. WSD: variable lexical notations for a concept GGeneric concept notation: D = I ∪ J ∪ K ∴ J = D − (I ∪ K) = (D − I ) ∩ (D − K) = D ∩ (I ∪ K) J = D ∩ ( I ∩ K) since, B = D ∪ E ∪ F D = B − (E ∪ F) =(B − E) ∩ (B − F) = B ∩ (E ∪ F) D =B ∩ (E ∩ F) Source: Proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications ¯¯¯¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯

18. WSD: variable lexical notations for a concept J = D ∩ ( I ∩ K) =( B ∩ (E ∩ F) ) ∩ ( I ∩ K) J = B ∩ ( (E ∩ F) ∩ ( I ∩ K) ) when J = fly, D = fish lure I = spinner k = troll And introducing boolean operators, AND for ∩ OR for ∪ NOT for ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ Source: Proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications

19. WSD: variable lexical notations for a concept  (“fly”) becomes : (“fisherman's lure” OR “fish lure”) AND ( (NOT “spinner”) AND (NOT “troll”) ) then B = lure, E = ground bait, F = stool pigeon  (“fly”) becomes : (“bait” OR “decoy” OR “lure”) AND ( ((NOT “ground bait”) AND (NOT “stoolpigeon”) AND((NOT “spinner”)AND(NOT “troll”)) ) Source: Proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications

20. Notation for synset  i-level generic notation for a synset If S k is a synset, F i is the synset that is located i links away following the hypernym links from S k then the i-level generic notation for S k is:  Note: F i is the parent node of F i-1, F i-1 is the parent node of F i-2 …  i-level specific notation for a synset J = P ∪ Q ∪ R when, P = T Q = U R = V ∪ W ∴ J = T ∪ U ∪ (V ∪ W) If S is a synset, L i is the set of synsets, C ik that are located i links away following the hyponym links from S, then the i-level specific regular notation for S is:  Note: if C ik is null, then C (i-1)k would be used (C (i-1)k is a leaf node in the case) Source: Proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications

22. WSD: Semantic relatedness and word sense disambiguation  Procedure for determining the semantic relatedness of two given wordnet synsets  Conception 1: Concepts that appear more frequently and closer with each others are "more related" to each others than the concepts that appear less frequently and farther are. Conception 1Synset relatedness measurement conceptsSynset lexical notation close or far of appearanceExists in a web page or not co-occurance frequencyNumber of web pages containing synsets Source: Proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications

25. Thesaurus as a complex network As a Directed Graph:  sink composed of the 73,046 terms with kout = 0  source are the 30,260 terms with at least one outgoing link (kout > 0) – Root words  absolute source : without incoming links kin = 0  normal source : (kout > 0 and kin > 0)  bridge source : without outgoing links to root words (kout(source) = 0) 1 – Normal source 2 – Bridge source 3 – Absolute source 4 – sink Source: arXiv:cond-mat/0312586 v1 2003
