Dataset Summary

SemCor 3.0 was automatically created from SemCor 1.6 by mapping WordNet 1.6 to WordNet 3.0 senses. SemCor 1.6 was created and is property of Princeton University.

Some (few) word senses from WordNet 1.6 were dropped, and therefore they cannot be retrieved anymore in the 3.0 database. A sense of 0 (wnsn=0) is used to symbolize a missing sense in WordNet 3.0.

The automatic mapping was performed within the Language and Information Technologies lab at UNT, by Rada Mihalcea ([email protected]).

THIS MAPPING IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND UNT MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. BY WAY OF EXAMPLE, BUT NOT LIMITATION, UNT MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF MERCHANT- ABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
