WordNet1 provides a more effective combination of traditional lexicographic information and modern computing, and is an online lexical database designed for use under program control.
Abstract
Because meaningful sentences are composed of meaningful words, any system that hopes to process natural languages as people do must have information about words and their meanings. This information is traditionally provided through dictionaries, and machine-readable dictionaries are now widely available. But dictionary entries evolved for the convenience of human readers, not for machines. WordNet1 provides a more effective combination of traditional lexicographic information and modern computing. WordNet is an online lexical database designed for use under program control. English nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs are organized into sets of synonyms, each representing a lexicalized concept. Semantic relations link the synonym sets [4].

Translating Embeddings for Modeling Multi-relational Data

TL;DR: TransE is proposed, a method which models relationships by interpreting them as translations operating on the low-dimensional embeddings of the entities, which proves to be powerful since extensive experiments show that TransE significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods in link prediction on two knowledge bases.

Introduction to WordNet: An On-line Lexical Database

TL;DR: Standard alphabetical procedures for organizing lexical information put together words that are spelled alike and scatter words with similar or related meanings haphazardly through the list.

Contextual correlates of semantic similarity

TL;DR: This article investigated the relationship between semantic and contextual similarity for pairs of nouns that vary from high to low semantic similarity and concluded that the more often two words can be substituted into the same contexts, the more similar they are judged to be.

A semantic concordance

TL;DR: A semantic concordance is a textual corpus and a lexicon so combined that every substantive word in the text is linked to its appropriate sense in the lexicon.

Semantic networks of English.

TL;DR: Principles of lexical semantics developed in the course of building an on-line lexical database are discussed, which are relational rather than componential and require synonymy to define the lexicalized concepts that words can be used to express.
