86 Chapter 5. Synset Discovery cota and planta. Besides an italian dish (not included), <strong>the</strong> word pasta might have <strong>the</strong> popular meaning <strong>of</strong> money, <strong>the</strong> figurative meaning <strong>of</strong> a mixture <strong>of</strong> things, or it might denote a file or a briefcase. As for <strong>the</strong> word cota, besides height (not included), it can be a quota or portion, or refer to an old and respectable person, and informally denote a fa<strong>the</strong>r or a mo<strong>the</strong>r. The word planta might ei<strong>the</strong>r denote a plan or some guidelines, or it might denote a vegetable. Besides some synonyms <strong>of</strong> plant/vegetable (e.g. planta, vegetal), <strong>the</strong> synset with <strong>the</strong> vegetable meaning contains many actual plants or vegetables (e.g. maruge, camélia). After analysing this problem, we noticed that <strong>the</strong> dictionary DA contains several definitions <strong>of</strong> plants where <strong>the</strong> first sentence is just planta, without any differentia. Therefore, even though <strong>the</strong> correct relation to extract would be hypernymy, our grammars see those definitions as denoting synonymy. Ano<strong>the</strong>r limitation shown by <strong>the</strong>se examples is that, sometimes, <strong>the</strong> fuzzy synsets contain words which are not synonyms, but have similar neighbourhoods. 5.3.3 Thesaurus data for different cut points After analysing <strong>the</strong> fuzzy synsets, we inspected <strong>the</strong> impact <strong>of</strong> applying different cut-points (θ) in <strong>the</strong> transformation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> fuzzy <strong>the</strong>saurus into a simple <strong>the</strong>saurus. Tables 5.3 and 5.4 present <strong>the</strong> properties <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> different <strong>the</strong>sauri obtained with different values for θ. Considering just <strong>the</strong> words <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong>sauri, table 5.3 includes <strong>the</strong> number <strong>of</strong> words, how many <strong>of</strong> those are ambiguous, <strong>the</strong> average number <strong>of</strong> senses per word, and <strong>the</strong> number <strong>of</strong> senses <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> most ambiguous word. As for synsets, table 5.4 shows <strong>the</strong> total number <strong>of</strong> synsets, <strong>the</strong> average synset size in terms <strong>of</strong> words, synsets <strong>of</strong> size 2 and size larger than 25, which are less likely to be useful (Borin and Forsberg, 2010), as well as <strong>the</strong> largest synset. Both tables do not consider synsets <strong>of</strong> size 1. Before collecting <strong>the</strong> data in Tables 5.3 and 5.4, we followed one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> clustering methods for word senses proposed for EuroWordNet, which suggests that synsets with three members in common can be merged (Peters et al., 1998). However, <strong>the</strong> design <strong>of</strong> our clustering algorithm and <strong>the</strong> configuration <strong>of</strong> our synonymy networks are prone to create synsets sharing more than one word. So, to minimise <strong>the</strong> possibility <strong>of</strong> merging synsets denoting different concepts, we made sure that merged synsets had at least 75% overlap, computed as follows, where |Synset| denotes <strong>the</strong> number <strong>of</strong> words <strong>of</strong> a synset: Overlap(Synseta, Synsetb) = Synseta ∩ Synsetb min(|Synseta|, |Synsetb|) (5.9) As expected, as θ grows, ambiguity drops. This is observed not only from <strong>the</strong> number <strong>of</strong> ambiguous words, but also from <strong>the</strong> average number <strong>of</strong> word senses and <strong>the</strong> number <strong>of</strong> synsets. For instance, with θ = 0.5, despite <strong>the</strong> establishment <strong>of</strong> 8,000 clusters, each word has only one sense, which means <strong>the</strong>re is no ambiguity. Out <strong>of</strong> curiosity, <strong>the</strong> largest synset in CLIP, with θ = 0.075, denotes <strong>the</strong> concept <strong>of</strong> money. It contains <strong>the</strong> following 58 words: • jimbo, pastel, bagarote, guines, baguines, parrolo, marcaureles, ouro, grana, arame, massaroca, tutu, metal, bagalho, níquel, bilhestres, milho, jan-da-cruz, china, cumquibus, mussuruco, cobre, numerário, pilim, bagaço, pasta, zerzulho, painço, finanças, chelpa, calique, posses, bagalhoça, pecuniária, boro, dieiro, pila, gaita,
