English WordNet

English WordNet is a large lexical database organizing English words into synsets (sets of synonyms) and representing semantic relationships between them, primarily aiming to facilitate natural language processing (NLP) tasks. Current research focuses on improving WordNet's quality, including addressing biases, inconsistencies, and incompleteness, often employing techniques like formal concept analysis, word embeddings, and transformer models to enhance its structure and accuracy across different languages. These efforts are crucial for advancing NLP applications, particularly in multilingual settings and for low-resource languages, by providing a more robust and reliable semantic resource.
