Workshop on Multimodal Wordnets (MMW-2020), located at 12th Language Resources and Evaluation Conference, May 11, ISBN 979-10-95546-41-2, ELRA, Paris, 5/2020.
Abstract
The Global WordNet Association (GWA) is a free, public and non-commercial organization that provides a platform for discussing, sharing and connecting wordnets for all languages in the world. GWA created in 2019 a Working Group (WG) dedicated to multimodal wordnets in order to extend the development and use of wordnets to modalities beyond text. As an initiative of this WG, the Multimodal Wordnets workshop was organised as a satellite event to the twelfth edition of the International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC) 2020. The main objective of this half-day workshop was to initiate the study of the interaction and cross-fertilization between wordnets and existing multimodal resources. Unfortunately, due to the global issue of the COVID-19 outbreak, the LREC event and the associated workshops could not be hold in May in Marseille. However, the Multimodal Wordnets workshop proceedings are published in order to acknowledge and present all the work done by the authors and reviewers.
