Abstract

We present an automatic method to disambiguate the senses of the near-synonyms in the entries of a dictionary of synonyms. We combine different indicators that take advantage of the structure on the entries and of lexical knowledge in WordNet. We also present the results of human judges doing the disambiguation for 50 randomly selected entries. This small amount of annotated data is used to tune and evaluate our system.
