An Experiment: Using Google Translate and Semantic Mirrors to Create Synsets with Many Lexical Units

Ahti Lohk, Mati Tombak, Kadri Vare


Abstract
One of the fundamental building blocks of a wordnet is synonym sets or synsets, which group together similar word meanings or synonyms. These synsets can consist either one or more synonyms. This paper describes an automatic method for composing synsets with multiple synonyms by using Google Translate and Semantic Mirrors’ method. Also, we will give an overview of the results and discuss the advantages of the proposed method from wordnet’s point of view.
