| Abstract | We present UWN, a large multilingual lexicalknowledge base that describes the meaningsand relationships of words in over 200languages. This paper explains how link prediction,information integration and taxonomyinduction methods have been used to buildUWN based on WordNet and extend it withmillions of named entities from Wikipedia.We additionally introduce extensions to coverlexical relationships, frame-semantic knowledge,and language data. An online interfaceprovides human access to the data, while asoftware API enables applications to look upover 16 million words and names. |
