Home Projects LinkGrammar-WN

LinkGrammar-WN is a lexicon expansion for the Link Grammar Parser. The Link Grammar Parser is a syntactic parser of the English language that is capable of handling a wide variety of syntactic constructions and is considered quite robust.

The LinkGrammar-WN project aims to import lexical information from WordNet. WordNet is an online lexical reference system that in recent years has become a popular tool for AI researchers.
This is an ongoing project. The LinkGrammar-WN v1.0 release contains 14,392 noun word forms not available within the original LGP lexicon, thus increasing the size of the LGP lexicon by 25%.
