Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for synonym verification. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a term and a candidate synonym for the term. The method further includes generating a term group of one or more text strings and a synonym group of one or more text strings. Each text string in the term group corresponding to a translation of the term into a language, and each text string in the synonym group corresponding to a translation of the synonym into the language. The method further includes determining whether the candidate synonym is a valid synonym for the term from an amount of overlap between the term group of text strings and the synonym group of text strings.
