Enrichment of OntoSenseNet : Adding a sense-annotated Telugu lexicon

EasyChair Preprint 47

Abstract

The paper describes the enrichment of OntoSenseNet - a verb-centric lexical resource for Indian Languages. This resource contains a newly developed Telugu-Telugu dictionary and manually annotated gold standard corpus consisting 8384 verbs, 253 adverbs and 1673 adjectives. Annotations are done by native speakers according to defined annotation guidelines. In this paper, we provide an overview of the annotation procedure and present the validation of our resource through inter-annotator agreement. Concepts of sense-class and sense-type are discussed. Additionally, we discuss the potential of lexical sense-annotated corpora in improving word sense disambiguation (WSD) tasks. Telugu WordNet is crowd-sourced for annotation of individual words in synsets and is compared with the developed sense-annotated lexicon (OntoSenseNet) to examine the improvement. Also, we present a special categorization (spatio-temporal classification) of adjectives.
