Abstract

Semantic knowledge is often used in the framework of Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications. However, for some languages different from English, such knowledge is not always easily available. In fact, for example, French thesaurus are not numerous and are not enough developed. In this context, we present two modifications made on the French version of the EuroWordnet Thesaurus in order to improve it. Firstly, we present the French EuroWordNet thesaurus and its limits. Then we explain two improvements we have made. We add non-existing relationships by using the bilinguism capability of the EuroWordnet thesaurus, and definitions by using an external multilingual resource (Wikipedia [1]).
