[Corpora-List] Web Corpus and Topic Signatures for all WordNet 1.6 Nominal Senses

[Oier]

Dear list members,

we are pleased to announce the public release of version 1.0 of our Web 
Corpus and Topic Signatures for all WordNet 1.6 Nominal Senses. These 
resources were first presented at LREC 2004 (Agirre and Lopez de 
Lacalle, 2004), but we have updated and revised them.

They have been succesfully used for a variety of tasks including word 
sense disambiguation (Agirre and Martinez, 2004), measuring simmilarity 
among word senses (Agirre et al. 2004) and clustering word senses 
(Agirre and Lopez de Lacalle, 2003).

These resources can be downloaded and browsed from the following url: 
http://ixa.si.ehu.es/Ixa/resources/sensecorpus.

Comments and feedback is most welcome.

Best,

Oier Lopez de Lacalle
