Abstract: We propose a procedure for measuring semantic relatedness of two words using an ontology, or semantic network dictionary. We discuss applications of this procedure in detail for lexical, syntactical, and co-reference disambiguation in natural language processing as well as in machine translation. In addition, we use a simplified version of this procedure for automatic translation of the semantic network itself into other languages. This simplifies creation and maintenance of semantic network dictionaries for different languages, thus enabling the described methods for processing of texts in languages other than English.
Keywords: Natural language processing, text processing, syntactic analysis, disambiguation, semantic network
