Abstract

En este artículo se presenta la metodología utilizada en la expansión del WordNet del gallego mediante el WN-Toolkit, así como una evaluación detallada de los resultados obtenidos. El conjunto de herramientas incluido en el WN-Toolkit permite la creación o expansión de wordnets siguiendo la estrategia de expansión. En los experimentos presentados en este artículo se han utilizado estrategias basadas en diccionarios y en corpus paralelos. La evaluación de los resultados se ha realizado de manera tanto automática como manual, permitiendo así la comparación de los valores de precisión obtenidos. La evaluación manual también detalla la fuente de los errores, lo que ha sido de utilidad tanto para mejorar el propio WN-Toolkit, como para corregir los errores del WordNet de referencia para el gallego.
