DESCRIPTION

Introduction

WordNet is a widely used tool in NLP and other research areas. A drawback of WordNet is the amount of time between updates. WordNet::Extend aims to help developers get a large use out of WordNet by allowing users to push the bounds of their own local WordNet. Both by allowing users to insert new lemmas into WordNet (WordNet::Extend::Insert) and helping users decide where a good place to insert new lemmas into WordNet is (WordNet::Extend::Locate).
