Abstract:
WordNet represents the polysemous terms by capturing the different meanings of them at lexical level implicitly without giving emphasis on the polysemy types they belong to. This problem affects the usability of WordNet as a suitable knowledge representation resource for Natural Language Processing applications. The current work presents pattern based approach for solving the polysemy problem by transforming the implicit relations between the synsets at lexical level into explicit relations at the semantic level.
