Machine learning algorithms have been applied to the problem but supervised algorithms often require large amounts of examples and unsupervised ones may be hampered by a lack of information. This paper presents an unsupervised algorithm which makes use of the WordNet ontology to compensate for the small number of examples. Comparative evaluation with a previously reported approach shows that the algorithm presented here is in some ways preferable and that benefits can be gained from combining the two approaches.
