That’s when I stumbled across the UBY project – fp markets reviews an amazing project which needs more recognition. I initially started with WordNet, but then realised that it was missing many types of words/lemma (determiners, pronouns, abbreviations, and many more). I’ve got ideas about how to fix this but will need to find a source of «sense» frequencies. Unfortunately, with the current database that runs this site, I don’t have data about which senses of ~term~ are used most commonly. Find similar words to why using the buttons below.
