This paper addresses the task of extending a given synset with additional synonyms taking
into account synonymy strength as a fuzzy value. Given a mono/multilingual synset and a …

performs an analysis of reviews extracted from well-known online review sources in …

This paper presents a new graph-based approach that induces synsets using synonymy
dictionaries and word embeddings. First, we build a weighted graph of synonyms extracted …

Semantic relations between words are key to building systems that aim to understand and
