UBY – A Large-Scale Unified Lexical-Semantic Resource

We are pleased to announce the release of UBY 1.0 –

a large-scale lexical-semantic resource for natural language processing (NLP)

based on the ISO standard Lexical Markup Framework (LMF).

Find more information and downloads on the UBY website and in three papers

to be presented at the upcoming EACL and LREC conferences:
