Papers

SemLink+: FrameNet, VerbNet and Event Ontologies (2014)
A short review of SemLink, the set of mappings between PropBank, VerbNet, FrameNet and OntoNotes sense groupings, and of the event ontology the authors are building on top of it.
Finding Predominant Word Senses in Untagged Text (2004)
The most-frequent (predominant) sense is a strong baseline for word sense disambiguation, but it normally needs a hand-tagged corpus such as SemCor, which is small (about 250,000 words) and fixed in genre.
Automatic Identification of Infrequent Word Senses (2004)
The paper ranks the senses of a word without any sense-tagged data, using a thesaurus built from raw text (a BNC thesaurus of distributional neighbours) and WordNet similarity.
