One Sense Per Discourse

It is well-known that there are polysemous words like sentence whose ‘‘meaning’’ or ‘‘sense’’ depends on the context of use. We have recently reported on two new word-sense disambiguation systems, one trained on bilingual material (the Canadian Hansards) and the other trained on monolingual material (Roget’s Thesaurus and Grolier’s Encyclopedia). As this work was nearing completion, we observed...

One Sense per Collocation

Previous work [Gale, Church and Yarowsky, 1992] showed that with high probability a polysemous word has one sense per discourse. In this paper we show that for certain definitions of collocation, a polysemous word exhibits essentially only one sense per collocation. We test this empirical hypothesis for several definitions of sense and collocation, and discover that it holds with 90-99% accurac...

Reply to Rubino et al . Antonio Miceli and Gianni

We thank Rubino et al. for their interest in our recently published paper [1, 2]. We agree with them that the correct timing for discontinuing double antiplatelet therapy is still controversial. The Society of Thoracic Surgeons guidelines recommend withholding clopidogrel at least 5 days prior to surgery in elective cases and a few days in acute coronary syndromes, while maintaining aspirin up ...

More than One Sense Per Discourse

Previous research has indicated that when a polysemous word appears two or more times in a discourse, it is extremely likely that they will all share the same sense [Gale et al. 92]. However, those results were based on a coarse-grained distinction between senses (e.g, sentence in the sense of a ‘prison sentence’ vs. a ‘grammatical sentence’). We report on an analysis of multiple senses within ...
