WordNet® is a large lexical database of English, developed under the direction of George A. Miller. Nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs are grouped into sets of cognitive synonyms (synsets), each expressing a distinct concept. Synsets are interlinked by means of conceptual-semantic and lexical relations. The resulting network of meaningfully related words and concepts can be navigated with the browser. WordNet is also freely and publicly available for download. WordNet's structure makes it a useful tool for computational linguistics and natural language processing.
Over the years, many people have contributed to the development of WordNet. Currently, the WordNet team includes the following members, and the WordNet project is housed in the Department of Computer Science:
•George A. Miller
•Christiane Fellbaum
•Randee Tengi
•Helen Langone
WordNet has been supported by grants from the NSF, ARDA, DARPA, DTO, and REFLEX.
