Based on well-known HowNet, OpenHowNet comprises three components:\ncore data which is composed of more than 100 thousand senses annotated with\nsememes, OpenHowNet Web which gives a brief introduction to OpenHowNet as well\nas provides online exhibition of OpenHowNet information, and OpenHowNet API\nwhich includes several useful APIs such as accessing OpenHowNet core data and\ndrawing sememe tree structures of senses. In the main text, we first give some\nbackgrounds including definition of sememe and details of HowNet. And then we\nintroduce some previous HowNet and sememe-based research works. Last but not\nleast, we detail the constituents of OpenHowNet and their basic features and\nfunctionalities. Additionally, we briefly make a summary and list some future\nworks.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1901.09957v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1901.09957v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"openhownet-an-open-sememe-based-lexical","repo_url":"https://github.com/thunlp/OpenHowNet-API","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1901.09957","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
