MALINDO Workshop at Cyber City, Malaysia, 2008

Building an Indonesian WordNet

A research paper and workshop presentation about creating an Indonesian WordNet by mapping Princeton WordNet synsets to Indonesian KBBI sense definitions.

PDF for MALINDO Workshop at Cyber City, Malaysia, 2008, covering the project context, methodology, implementation details, and outcomes.

Project

Indonesian WordNet

The work uses the expand model approach: instead of building a WordNet from scratch, it connects existing English WordNet concepts with Indonesian dictionary senses. The paper discusses concept mapping, web-based annotation, inter-annotator reliability, and early results from the constructed Indonesian WordNet.

Talk role

Co-authored the paper as part of the Faculty of Computer Science, University of Indonesia team, contributing to an NLP resource-building effort for Indonesian language semantics.
