Abstract

The WordNet verb hierarchy is tested, with a view to improving the performance of its applications, revealing topological anomalies and casting doubt on its semantic categories. Encoded troponyms frequently misrepresent other kinds of entailment. Approaches are proposed for correcting these anomalies including a new top ontology.
