## Papers

1. **[SemLink+: FrameNet, VerbNet and Event Ontologies](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/palmer-2014-semlink-framenet-verbnet-event-ontologies/)** *(2014)* A short review of SemLink, the set of mappings between PropBank, VerbNet, FrameNet and OntoNotes sense groupings, and of the event ontology the authors are building on top of it.
2. **[Finding Predominant Word Senses in Untagged Text](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/onto-2004-mccarthy-finding-predominant-word-senses-untagged/)** *(2004)* The most-frequent (predominant) sense is a strong baseline for word sense disambiguation, but it normally needs a hand-tagged corpus such as SemCor, which is small (about 250,000 words) and fixed in genre.
3. **[Automatic Identification of Infrequent Word Senses](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/aclbulk-2004-mccarthy-automatic-identification-infrequent-word-senses/)** *(2004)* The paper ranks the senses of a word without any sense-tagged data, using a thesaurus built from raw text (a BNC thesaurus of distributional neighbours) and WordNet similarity.
