Abstract

This paper presents a method for augmenting taxonomies with domain information using a simple combination of three existing lexical similarity metrics. The combined approach is evaluated by comparing their results against the annotated SEMCOR corpus. An implementation is described in which WordNet is augmented with thesaural information from the CIDE+ machine readable dictionary.
