TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a method for the resolution of lexical ambiguity of nouns and its automatic evaluation over the Brown Corpus, relying on the use of the wide-coverage noun taxonomy of WordNet and the notion of conceptual distance among concepts, captured by a Conceptual Density formula developed for this purpose.

TL;DR: This paper presents an approach to create Event-Centric Knowledge Graphs (ECKGs) using state-of-the-art natural language processing and semantic web techniques, and shows how approaching information from news in an event-centric manner can increase the user's understanding of the domain, facilitates the reconstruction of news story lines, and enable to perform exploratory investigation of news hidden facts.
