WordNet: A Lexical Database for English
By George A. Miller. 1992
The goal of this project is to provide lexical resources for natural language research. The primary emphases are on the further development and dissemination of the on-line lexical database, WordNet. A secondary goal is to learn how to develop contextual representations for different senses of a polysemous word, where a contextual representation is comprised of topical and local context for each sense.
