چکیده

We present an automatic method to disambiguate the sensesof the nearsynonyms in the entries of a dictionary of synonyms. We combine different indicators that take advantage of the structure on the entries and of lexical knowledge in WordNet. We also present the results of human judges doing the disambiguation for 50 randomly selected entries. This small amount of annotated data is used to tune and evaluate our system.

The senses are defined by a large machine readable dictionary for French, the TLFi (Trésor de la langue française informatisé) and the synonyms are given by 5 synonym dictionaries (also for French). To evaluate the proposed method, we manually constructed a gold standard where for each (word, definition...

In this paper, we propose and implement a completely automatic approach to scale up word sense disambigua...

For instance, some of these methods use synonym dictionaries. These dictionaries enrich a sentence with words that have a similar meaning. However, these methods present some serious drawbacks, since ...

Automatic vs. manual curation of a multi-source chemical dictionary: the impact on text mining

BACKGROUND Previously, we developed a combined dictionary dubbed Chemlist for the identification of small molecules and drugs in text based on a number of publicly available databases and tested it on an annotated corpus. To achieve an acceptable recall and precision we used a number of automatic and semi-automatic processing steps together with disambiguation rules. However, it remained to be ...
