thesaurus creation

Thesaurus creation involves developing a structured database that links words with their synonyms, antonyms, or related concepts. Linguists and data scientists analyze large collections of text—like books, articles, and websites—to identify how words are used and related. They then organize this information into categories, enabling tools like dictionary apps or language processing software to suggest alternative words or understand meaning more deeply. The goal is to capture the richness of language, providing users with precise, contextually appropriate word choices and improving natural language understanding in technology.
