Using Context to Improve the Spanish WordNet Translation

Alfonso Methol, Guillermo López, Juan Álvarez, Luis Chiruzzo, Dina Wonsever


Abstract
We present some strategies for improving the Spanish version of WordNet, part of the MCR, selecting new lemmas for the Spanish synsets by translating the lemmas of the corresponding English synsets. We used four simple selectors that resulted in a considerable improvement of the Spanish WordNet coverage, but with relatively lower precision, then we defined two context based selectors that improved the precision of the translations.
