1)	Polysemy

2)	Missing Senses, Lemmas and Relations

The Quality of Lexical Semantic Resources: A Survey

WordNet organizes the relation between terms and synsets, and a term may have many meanings, which is called polysemous term. As a result, the relation between terms and synsets is many-to-many relationship and wrong term-synset relation can occur in WordNet, which caused overload.
