Overview

From this page you can download:

BabelNet
, a very large multilingual semantic network with millions of concepts obtained from:
  • an integration of WordNet and Wikipedia based on an automatic mapping algorithm
  • translations of the concepts (i.e. English Wikipedia pages and WordNet synsets) based on Wikipedia's cross-language links and the output of a machine translations systems
WordNet++, an extension of WordNet comprising:
  • millions of new semantic pointers between WordNet synsets harvested from Wikipedia co-occurring links via BabelNet's mapping from Wikipedia pages to WordNet synsets
Both resources were automatically generated using the methods presented in our ACL-2010 papers (see "Papers" in the left box).

Coming soon

We are currently working on a full release of BabelNet (including multilingual lexicalizations, glosses and semantic relations) and BabelCor, a very large sense-labeled corpus built from SemCor and Wikipedia. Stay tuned and check out this page regularly: we plan to release all resources in the next few weeks!
