The quality of a product is the degree to which a product meets the Customer’s expectations, which must also be valid in the case of lexical-semantic resources. Conducting a periodic evaluation of resources is essential to ensure that they meet a native speaker’s expectations and are free from errors.

Abstract

The quality of a product is the degree to which a product meets the Customer’s expectations, which must also be valid in the case of lexical-semantic resources. Conducting a periodic evaluation of resources is essential to ensure that they meet a native speaker’s expectations and are free from errors. This paper defines the possible errors that a lexical-semantic resource can contain, how they may impact downstream applications and explains the steps applied to evaluate and quantify the quality of Malayalam WordNet. Malayalam is one of the classical languages of India. We propose an approach allowing to subset the part of the WordNet tied to the lowest quality scores. We aim to work on this subset in a crowdsourcing context to improve the quality of the resource.
