WordNet

WordNet is a large, organized database of English words that connects words based on their meanings and relationships. It groups words into sets called "synsets," which represent similar concepts or ideas, and shows how these synsets relate through links like synonyms, antonyms, or hierarchical categories. Think of it as a detailed map of language that helps computers understand the nuances of words and their connections, making tasks like language translation, search, and natural language processing more accurate and meaningful.
