Abstract

World Wide Web has become an important knowledge source for many research fields, and quality of Web-acquired knowledge has direct impact on their performance. While evaluation of the vast amount of Web resources is out of question, in this paper we examined thousands of sentences containing twelve preselected words and produced several quality measures including sentence coherence and sense distribution information. Our goal is to provide some insight to several Computational Linguistics areas that acquire knowledge from the Web.
