Abstract:Synonyms are words with the same or similar meaning. They can be any part of speech, if both words are the same part of speech. Synonyms are important for Natural Language Processing. For example in full-text search one of the relevant signals for finding a relevant web page is the existence of the query words or similar words in the document. To achieve this, the search query is expanded using all possible synonyms to make the search as broad as possible. In this work, all kinds of methods for automatic synonyms discovery are presented and compared. Then some evaluation methods are proposed for evaluation of the discovered synonyms. Last, one method is thoroughly tested on the proposed evaluation methods.
