Abstract
This paper presents a new fully automatic
method for building highly dense and accurate knowledge bases from existing
semantic resources. Basically, the method uses a wide-coverage and accurate knowledge-based Word Sense Disambiguation
algorithm to assign the most appropriate senses to large sets of topically related words acquired from the web.
KnowNet, the resulting knowledge-base
which connects large sets of semantically related concepts is a major step towards
the autonomous acquisition of knowledge
from raw corpora. In fact, KnowNet is several
times larger than any available knowledge
resource encoding relations between
synsets, and the knowledge KnowNet contains
outperform any other resource when is empirically evaluated in a common framework.
