Integrating WordNet and FrameNet using a Knowledge-based Word Sense Disambiguation Algorithm

This paper presents a novel automatic approach to partially integrate FrameNet and WordNet. In that way we expect to extend FrameNet coverage, to enrich WordNet with frame semantic information and possibly to extend FrameNet to languages other than English. The method uses a knowledge-based Word Sense Disambiguation algorithm for linking FrameNet lexical units to WordNet synsets. Specifically, we exploit a graph-based Word Sense Disambiguation algorithm that uses a large-scale knowledge-base derived from WordNet. We have developed and tested four additional versions of this algorithm showing a substantial improvement over previous results.
