sentiment analysis - What is the meaning of sense number in SentiWordNet? -


i want use sentiwordnet project , not figure out sense number do? here part of sentiwordnet's word list;

here explanation of sentiwordnet word list document;

i found related question here did not understand the feature of sense number answer. here related question's link: what sentiwordnet 3.0 result signify?

my question is: how can use sense number part in code? what exactly?

if lookup "parturient" in wordnet you'll see 2 meanings shown. these parturient#1 , parturient#2 respectively.

in case difference rather subtle. but, instance, word "field" has lots of senses, , might care 1 being referred to.

you use them if start looking @ semantic relations of word. e.g. hypernym of field#4 "knowledge domain", whereas hypernym of of field#1 "tract" (piece of land).

a classic example when considering sentiment compare suck#2 , suck#4 in context of talking vacumn cleaner! e.g. "this cleaner sucks#4 hardly sucks#2 @ all."
