>> =============================
>>
>>    RELEASE OF BABELNET 4.0
>>
>>                http://babelnet.org
>>
>> =============================
>>
>> We are proud to announce the release of a new major version of BabelNet
>> <http://babelnet.org> and its API, developed jointly by the Linguistic
>> Computing Laboratory <http://lcl.uniroma1.it> of the Sapienza University
>> of Rome under the supervision of prof. Roberto Navigli
>> <http://wwwusers.di.uniroma1.it/~navigli/>, and Babelscape
>> <http://babelscape.com>, a Sapienza startup company providing innovative
>> solutions for multilingual NLP. BabelNet -- winner of the prominent
>> paper award 2017 from the Artificial Intelligence Journal and the META
>> prize 2015, and covered in media such as The Guardian
>> <https://www.theguardian.com/news/2018/feb/23/oxford-english-dictionary-can-worlds-biggest-dictionary-survive-internet>
>> and Time magazine
>> <http://wwwusers.di.uniroma1.it/~navigli/img/Redefining_the_modern_dictionary.png>
>> -- is today’s most far-reaching multilingual resource which, according
>> to need, can be used as an encyclopedic dictionary, or a semantic
>> network or a huge knowledge base. BabelNet was created by means of the
>> seamless interlinking and integration of the largest multilingual Web
>> encyclopedia - i.e., Wikipedia - with the most popular computational
>> lexicon of English - i.e., WordNet, and other lexical semantic resources
>> such as Wiktionary, OmegaWiki, Wikidata, Wikipedia infoboxes, dozens of
>> wordnets, Wikiquote, FrameNet, VerbNet, Microsoft Terminology, GeoNames,
>> and ImageNet. BabelNet provides multilingual synsets, i.e., concepts and
>> named entities lexicalized in many languages and connected with large
>> amounts of semantic relations.
>>
>> Version 4.0 comes with the following features:
>>
>>
>>    -
>>
>>    284 languages now covered
>>    -
>>
>>    Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikidata and OmegaWiki have been updated
>>    thanks to BabelNet live <http://live.babelnet.org>, a
>>    continuously-growing resource with daily updates from all the sources
>>    that go to make it up
>>    -
>>
>>    Better sense inventory thanks to the manual validation of thousands
>>    of mappings
>>    -
>>
>>    All existing wordnets updated
>>    -
>>
>>    New wordnets integrated for Gaelic, Portuguese and Korean
>>    -
>>
>>    Improved treatment of Chinese
>>    -
>>
>>    2 million new multilingual synsets (from 14 in v3.7 to 16 million
>>    synsets in v4)
>>    -
>>
>>    832 million senses (was 745 million Babel senses in v3.7, increasing
>>    language coverage considerably)
>>    -
>>
>>    Improved management of open wordnets that are now stored with their
>>    individual licenses
>>    -
>>
>>    Improved version of the Java and HTTP RESTful API (
>>    http://babelnet.org/download). The Java API comes with reengineered
>>    interfaces and classes, additional methods for Java 8 and a Java 9-ready
>>    packaging, support of the latest version of Lucene. Universal POS tags are
>>    now adopted, paving the way to synsets for closed-class words. A brand-new
>>    Python API is under development with the same interface as the Java API.

>> We are organizing a two-day summer school
>> <http://live.babelnet.org/search?word=summer+school&lang=EN> and
>> hackathon
>> <http://live.babelnet.org/synset?word=hackathon&lang=EN&details=1&orig=hackathon>,
