Open Mind Word Expert is an implemented active learning system that aims to create large annotated corpora by tapping into the world's vast pool of knowledge. It does this by relying on the vast number of Web users who contribute their knowledge to data annotation. Open Mind Word Expert focuses on building semantically annotated corpora, by collecting word sense tagging from the general public over the Web. It is available at http://teachcomputers.org. During the first nine months of activity, the system yielded 90,000 high quality tagged items at a much lower cost than the traditional method of hiring lexicographers.
Another active learning approach is the Open Mind Word Expert REF , which is a project to collect sense-tagged examples from Web users.
