This paper summarises a set of methodologies and techniques for the fast construction of multilingual WordNets. The

Five different proposed measures of similarity or semantic distance in WordNet were experimentally compared by examining their performance in a real-word spelling correction system. It was found that Jiang and Conrath 's measure gave the best results overall. That of Hirst and St

We examine the strategies of organizing termino-logical information in WordNet, and describe an analogous strategy of adding terminological senses of lexical units to plWordNet, a large Polish word-net. Wordnet builders must cope with differences in lexical and terminological definitions of a term
