Sense about mammography.
breast cancer, from self examination to mammography, reflects the powerful commonsensical appeal of the notion that early diagnosis confers a better prognosis.

متن کاملChapter 3 MAKING SENSE ABOUT SENSE
We first reconsider the role of lexicographers in word-sense disambiguation as a computational task, as providers of both legacy material (dictionaries) and special test material for competitions like SENSEVAL. We suggest that the standard fine-grained division of senses and (larger) homographs by a lexicographer for use by a human reader may not be an appropriate goal for the computational WSD...
