NAME

README - Introduction to WordNet::Extend

DESCRIPTION

This package contains Perl modules that implement the ability to locate a calculated place for inserting a new out of vocabulary (OOV) Lemma into WordNet. This is accomplished primarily by overlaps desribed by Lesk (1986), and the extended gloss overlap measure described by Banerjee and Pedersen (2003).

The Perl modules are designed as objects that takes in OOV Lemma(s) and outputs the highest scoring WordNet sense matched to the OOV Lemma. These modules allow the insertion of a single OOV Lemma or a whole file of OOV Lemmas. The modules also allow tweaking of the clean up process the lemmas undergo alogn with the options of what items are included in the overlaps to allow greater control of how the best sense is calculated.

This package also contains a module that implements the ability for a user to insert new words into WordNet.

CONTENTS

The package contains the extend modules along with usable data files and old data from SemEval14-2016.

Modules

All the modules that will be installed in the Perl system directory are in the '/lib' folder in this package. These include Insert.pm and Locate.pm. All these modules, once installed in the Perl system directory, can be directly used by Perl programs.

Samples

If the proper package was downloaded, a '/samples' subdirectory should appear in the package. This subdirectory contains example files that can be run by using the locateFile() method in Extend::Locate.pm. $obj->locateFile('samples/inSample','samples/outSample');
