History and team members

edit

WordNet was first created in 1985, in English only, in theCognitive ScienceLaboratory ofPrinceton Universityunder the direction ofpsychologyprofessorGeorge Armitage Miller.It was later directed byChristiane Fellbaum.The project was initially funded by the U.S. Office of Naval Research, and later also by other U.S. government agencies including theDARPA,theNational Science Foundation,theDisruptive Technology Office(formerly the Advanced Research and Development Activity) and REFLEX. George Miller and Christiane Fellbaum received the 2006 Antonio Zampolli Prize for their work with WordNet.

The Global WordNet Association is a non-commercial organization that provides a platform for discussing, sharing and connecting WordNets for all languages in the world.Christiane FellbaumandPiek Th.J.M. Vossenare its co-presidents.[5]

Database contents

edit
Example entry "Hamburger" in WordNet

The database contains 155,327 words organized in 175,979synsetsfor a total of 207,016 word-sense pairs; incompressedform, it is about 12megabytesin size.[6]

It includes the lexical categoriesnouns,verbs,adjectivesandadverbsbut ignoresprepositions,determinersand other function words.

Words from the same lexical category that are roughly synonymous are grouped intosynsets,which include simplex words as well ascollocationslike "eat out" and "car pool." The different senses of apolysemousword form are assigned to different synsets. A synset's meaning is further clarified with a short definingglossand one or more usage examples. An example adjective synset is:

good, right, ripe – (most suitable or right for a particular purpose; "a good time to plant tomatoes"; "the right time to act"; "the time is ripe for great sociological changes" )

All synsets are connected by means of semantic relations. These relations, which are not all shared by all lexical categories, include:

  • Nouns
    • hypernym:Yis a hypernym ofXif everyXis a (kind of)Y(canineis a hypernym ofdog)
    • hyponym:Yis a hyponym ofXif everyYis a (kind of)X(dogis a hyponym ofcanine)
    • coordinate term:Yis a coordinate term ofXifXandYshare a hypernym (wolfis a coordinate term ofdog,anddogis a coordinate term ofwolf)
    • holonym:Yis a holonym ofXifXis a part ofY(buildingis a holonym ofwindow)
    • meronym:Yis a meronym ofXifYis a part ofX(windowis a meronym ofbuilding)
  • Verbs
    • hypernym:the verbYis a hypernym of the verbXif the activityXis a (kind of)Y(to perceiveis an hypernym ofto listen)
    • troponym:the verbYis a troponym of the verbXif the activityYis doingXin some manner (to lispis a troponym ofto talk)
    • entailment:the verbYis entailed by the verbXif by doingXyou must be doingY(to sleepis entailed byto snore)
    • coordinate term:the verbYis a coordinate term of the verbXifXandYshare a hypernym (to lispis a coordinate term ofto yell,andto yellis a coordinate term ofto lisp)

These semantic relations hold among all members of the linked synsets. Individual synset members (words) can also be connected with lexical relations. For example, (one sense of) the noun "director" is linked to (one sense of) the verb "direct" from which it is derived via a "morphosemantic" link.

The morphology functions of the software distributed with the database try to deduce thelemmaorstemform of awordfrom the user's input. Irregular forms are stored in a list, and looking up "ate" will return "eat," for example.

Knowledge structure

edit

Both nouns and verbs are organized into hierarchies, defined byhypernymorIS Arelationships. For instance, one sense of the worddogis found following hypernym hierarchy; the words at the same level represent synset members. Each set of synonyms has a unique index.

  • dog, domestic dog, Canis familiaris
    • canine, canid
      • carnivore
        • placental, placental mammal, eutherian, eutherian mammal
          • mammal
            • vertebrate, craniate
              • chordate
                • animal, animate being, beast, brute, creature, fauna
                  • ...

At the top level, these hierarchies are organized into 25 beginner "trees" for nouns and 15 for verbs (calledlexicographic filesat a maintenance level). All are linked to a unique beginner synset, "entity". Noun hierarchies are far deeper than verb hierarchies.

Adjectives are not organized into hierarchical trees. Instead, two "central" antonyms such as "hot" and "cold" form binary poles, while 'satellite' synonyms such as "steaming" and "chilly" connect to their respective poles via a "similarity" relations. The adjectives can be visualized in this way as "dumbbells" rather than as "trees".

Psycholinguistic aspects

edit

The initial goal of the WordNet project was to build a lexical database that would be consistent with theories of human semantic memory developed in the late 1960s. Psychological experiments indicated that speakers organized their knowledge of concepts in an economic, hierarchical fashion. Retrieval time required to access conceptual knowledge seemed to be directly related to the number of hierarchies the speaker needed to "traverse" to access the knowledge. Thus, speakers could more quickly verify thatcanaries can singbecause a canary is a songbird, but required slightly more time to verify thatcanaries can fly(where they had to access the concept "bird" on the superordinate level) and even more time to verifycanaries have skin(requiring look-up across multiple levels of hyponymy, up to "animal" ).[7] While suchpsycholinguisticexperiments and the underlying theories have been subject to criticism, some of WordNet's organization is consistent with experimental evidence. For example,anomic aphasiaselectively affects speakers' ability to produce words from a specific semantic category, a WordNet hierarchy. Antonymous adjectives (WordNet's central adjectives in the dumbbell structure) are found to co-occur far more frequently than chance, a fact that has been found to hold for many languages.

As a lexical ontology

edit

WordNet is sometimes called an ontology, a persistent claim that its creators do not make. The hypernym/hyponym relationships among the noun synsets can be interpreted as specialization relations among conceptual categories. In other words, WordNet can be interpreted and used as a lexicalontologyin thecomputer sciencesense. However, such an ontology should be corrected before being used, because it contains hundreds of basic semantic inconsistencies; for example there are, (i) common specializations for exclusive categories and (ii) redundancies in the specialization hierarchy. Furthermore, transforming WordNet into a lexical ontology usable for knowledge representation should normally also involve (i) distinguishing the specialization relations intosubtypeOfandinstanceOfrelations, and (ii) associating intuitive unique identifiers to each category. Although such corrections and transformations have been performed and documented as part of the integration of WordNet 1.7 into the cooperatively updatable knowledge base of WebKB-2,[8]most projects claiming to reuse WordNet for knowledge-based applications (typically, knowledge-oriented information retrieval) simply reuse it directly.

WordNet has also been converted to a formal specification, by means of a hybrid bottom-up top-down methodology to automatically extract association relations from it and interpret these associations in terms of a set of conceptual relations, formally defined in theDOLCE foundational ontology.[9]

In most works that claim to have integrated WordNet into ontologies, the content of WordNet has not simply been corrected when it seemed necessary; instead, it has been heavily reinterpreted and updated whenever suitable. This was the case when, for example, the top-level ontology of WordNet was restructured[10]according to theOntoClean-based approach, or when it was used as a primary source for constructing the lower classes of the SENSUS ontology.

Limitations

edit

The most widely discussed limitation of WordNet (and related resources likeImageNet) is that some of thesemantic relationsare more suited to concrete concepts than to abstract concepts.[11]For example, it is easy to create hyponyms/hypernym relationships to capture that a "conifer"is a type of"tree",a" tree "is a type of"plant",and a" plant "is a type of"organism",but it is difficult to classify emotions like" fear "or" happiness "into equally deep and well-defined hyponyms/hypernym relationships.

Many of the concepts in WordNet are specific to certain languages and the most accurate reported mapping between languages is 94%.[12]Synonyms, hyponyms, meronyms, and antonyms occur in all languages with a WordNet so far, but other semantic relationships are language-specific.[13]This limits the interoperability across languages. However, it also makes WordNet a resource for highlighting and studying the differences between languages, so it is not necessarily a limitation for all use cases.

WordNet does not include information about theetymologyor the pronunciation of words and it contains only limited information about usage. WordNet aims to cover most everyday words and does not include much domain-specific terminology.

WordNet is the most commonly used computational lexicon of English forword-sense disambiguation(WSD), a task aimed at assigning the context-appropriate meanings (i.e. synset members) to words in a text.[14]However, it has been argued that WordNet encodes sense distinctions that are too fine-grained. This issue prevents WSD systems from achieving a level of performance comparable to that of humans, who do not always agree when confronted with the task of selecting a sense from a dictionary that matches a word in a context. The granularity issue has been tackled by proposingclusteringmethods that automatically group together similar senses of the same word.[15][16][17]

Offensive content

edit

WordNet includes words that can be perceived aspejorativeor offensive.[18]The interpretation of a word canchange over timeandbetween social groups,so it is not always possible for WordNet to define a word as "pejorative"or" offensive "in isolation. Therefore, people using WordNet must apply their own methods to identify offensive or pejorative words.

However, this limitation is true of other lexical resources likedictionariesandthesauruses,which also containpejorativeand offensive words. Some dictionaries indicate words that arepejoratives,but do not include all the contexts in which words might be acceptable or offensive to different social groups. Therefore, people using dictionaries must apply their own methods to identify all offensive words.

Licensed vs. Open WordNets

edit

Some wordnets were subsequently created for other languages. A 2012 survey lists the wordnets and their availability.[19]In an effort to propagate the usage of WordNets, the Global WordNet community had been slowly re-licensing their WordNets to an open domain where researchers and developers can easily access and use WordNets as language resources to provideontologicalandlexicalknowledge innatural-language processing(NLP) tasks.

The Open Multilingual WordNet[20]provides access toopen licensedwordnets in a variety of languages, all linked to the Princeton Wordnet of English (PWN). The goal is to make it easy to use wordnets in multiple languages.

Applications

edit

WordNet has been used for a number of purposes in information systems, includingword-sense disambiguation,information retrieval,automatic text classification,automatic text summarization,machine translationand even automatic crossword puzzle generation.

A common use of WordNet is to determine thesimilaritybetween words. Various algorithms have been proposed, including measuring the distance among words and synsets in WordNet's graph structure, such as by counting the number of edges among synsets. The intuition is that the closer two words or synsets are, the closer their meaning. A number of WordNet-based word similarity algorithms are implemented in aPerlpackage called WordNet::Similarity,[21]and in aPythonpackage calledNLTK.[22]Other more sophisticated WordNet-based similarity techniques include ADW,[23]whose implementation is available inJava.WordNet can also be used to inter-link other vocabularies.[24]

Interfaces

edit

Princeton maintains a list of related projects[25]that includes links to some of the widely usedapplication programming interfacesavailable for accessing WordNet using various programming languages and environments.

edit

WordNet is connected to several databases of theSemantic Web.WordNet is also commonly reused via mappings between the WordNet synsets and the categories from ontologies. Most often, only the top-level categories of WordNet are mapped.

Global WordNet Association

edit

The Global WordNet Association (GWA)[26]is a public and non-commercial organization that provides a platform for discussing, sharing and connecting wordnets for all languages in the world. The GWA also promotes the standardization of wordnets across languages, to ensure its uniformity in enumerating the synsets in human languages. The GWA keeps a list of wordnets developed around the world.[27]
