An Algorithm for Fuzzification of WordNets, Supported by a Mathematical Proof
WordNet-like Lexical Databases (WLDs) group English words into sets of synonyms called "synsets." Although the standard WLDs are being used in many successful Text-Mining applications, they have the limitation that word-senses are considered to represent the meaning associated to their corresponding synsets, to the same degree, which is not generally true. In order to overcome this limitation, several fuzzy versions of synsets have been proposed. A common trait of these studies is that, to the best of our knowledge, they do not aim to produce fuzzified versions of the existing WLD's, but build new WLDs from scratch, which has limited the attention received from the Text-Mining community, many of whose resources and applications are based on the existing WLDs. In this study, we present an algorithm for constructing fuzzy versions of WLDs of any language, given a corpus of documents and a word-sense disambiguation (WSD) system for that language. Then, using the Open-American-National-Corpus and UKB WSD as algorithm inputs, we construct and publish online the fuzzified version of English WordNet (FWN). We also propose a theoretical (mathematical) proof of the validity of its results.

Automatically Creating a Large Number of New Bilingual Dictionaries
This paper proposes approaches to automatically create a large number of new bilingual dictionaries for low-resource languages, especially resource-poor and endangered languages, from a single input bilingual dictionary.…
The FA Quantifier Fuzzification Mechanism: analysis of convergence and efficient implementations
The fuzzy quantification model FA has been identified as one of the best behaved quantification models in several revisions of the field of fuzzy quantification. This model is, to our knowledge, the unique one fulfilling…
Algorithm-assisted discovery of an intrinsic order among mathematical constants
In recent decades, a growing number of discoveries in fields of mathematics have been assisted by computer algorithms, primarily for exploring large parameter spaces that humans would take too long to investigate. As com…

It Takes Two to Tango – Towards a Multilingual MWE Resource
Mature wordnets offer the opportunity of digging out interesting linguistic information otherwise not explicitly marked in the network. The focus in this paper is on the ways the results already obtained at two levels, d…
