WordNet (Miller, 1995) is used as the source of hierarchical concept relationships for empirical validation in Park et al. (2025).

Summary

Park et al. (2025) ground their empirical tests in WordNet's pre-existing hierarchy of concept relationships (Miller, 1995), meaning their validation results are traceable to a well-established public lexical resource rather than a bespoke dataset. This pins down the provenance of their test data, so any downstream reasoning about their methodology or results can be checked against a known, auditable source.
