N2 - This paper proposes a method to compute cross-lingual semantic similarity between synonym sets. By making use of Princeton Annotated Gloss Corpus as the source of target language statistics, the proposed method exhibited promising results in the experiments: More than 73% of the Princeton WordNet synsets were successfully recovered within the top-5 candidates, given a corresponding set of Japanese WordNet synsets. As the proposed method minimally requires that the input to be seen as an apparently synonymous word set, the method could be extended and the performance would be further improved by incorporating richer information such as textual glosses and/or structural constraints posed by the lexical resources at hand.
