NAME
    README - Introduction to WordNet::Extend

DESCRIPTION
    This package contains Perl modules that implement the ability to locate
    a calculated place for inserting a new out of vocabulary (OOV) Lemma
    into WordNet. This is accomplished primarily by overlaps desribed by
    Lesk (1986), and the extended gloss overlap measure described by
    Banerjee and Pedersen (2003).

    The Perl modules are designed as objects that takes in OOV Lemma(s) and
    outputs the highest scoring WordNet sense matched to the OOV Lemma.
    These modules allow the insertion of a single OOV Lemma or a whole file
    of OOV Lemmas. The modules also allow tweaking of the clean up process
    the lemmas undergo alogn with the options of what items are included in
    the overlaps to allow greater control of how the best sense is
    calculated.

    This package also contains a module that implements the ability for a
    user to insert new words into WordNet.

CONTENTS
    The package contains the extend modules along with usable data files and
    old data from SemEval14-2016.

  Modules
    All the modules that will be installed in the Perl system directory are
    in the '/lib' folder in this package. These include Insert.pm and
    Locate.pm. All these modules, once installed in the Perl system
    directory, can be directly used by Perl programs.

  Samples
    If the proper package was downloaded, a '/samples' subdirectory should
    appear in the package. This subdirectory contains example files that can
    be run by using the locateFile() method in Extend::Locate.pm.
    $obj->locateFile('samples/inSample','samples/outSample');
