Hungarian Wordnet

The Hungarian Wordnet (HuWN) is a lexical-semantic network that is structured along the same lines as the Princeton WordNet (lexical reference system) and the EuroWordNet.

In a wordnet, which is basically a semantic network, the different lexical categories of words (nouns, verbs,..) are organised into 'synsets' (sets of synonyms). Each synset represents a lexical concept and they can be linked by different types of relation (hyperonymy, antonymy, etc.). For obvious reasons, all wordnets resort to the same system of synset identification.

The Hungarian Wordnet contains 40.000 concepts. For the moment, three packages have been designed with different methodologies (only for the nominal part):
-Package 1: 62% of precision, 15,197 nouns, 15,348 synsets, 26,698 connections.
-Package 2: 65% of precision, 12,550 nouns, 22,130 synsets.
-Package 3: 75% of precision, 7,337 nouns, 9,532 synsets, 11,315 connections.

WordNet is a basic resource for computational linguistics purposes and language engineering applications (machine translation, IE, WSD, knowledge representation, etc.).
