English WordNet 2019 – An Open-Source WordNet for English

What it is about

The paper announces English WordNet 2019, an open-source revision of Princeton WordNet 3.1. It is developed on GitHub by many contributors, with quality checks borrowed from open-source software, instead of review by one expert lexicographer. The release keeps the 117,791 synsets of WordNet 3.1 but changes some senses and definitions. The senses rise from 159,015 to 159,789 (+797, -23), and 2,002 synsets change, which is 1.70% of the synsets. The authors also check example sentences: an edit-distance test flags 434 synsets whose examples may not illustrate the synset, and 341 of those are clear errors that are easy to fix. The paper also discusses the risk of importing Wikipedia-derived definitions, which could bring in the CC BY-SA licence.

Ideas

For Mova

The code is onto/src/wsd.rs and the onto crate, which reads Open English WordNet. The chapter is 19. The lexicon: vocabulary, multiword expressions and register. The paper is CC BY 4.0, so its ideas can be used freely; keep the WordNet data's own licence in view when a gloss changes. Measure first: the duplicate-pair count and the WSD choice change for a fixed input, run twice and compared.
