Abstract
This paper contains an application of the EM selection algorithm to semantic annotation of NP/PP heads by means of wordnet synsets. Firstly presented are the preparation of a corpus to be semantically annotated and the wordnet on which the annotation is based. Next, the process of semantic annotation is discussed. Finally, its results are evaluated and compared with the well known solution proposed by Resnik.
