Word Sense Disambiguation Using Context Translation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) is one of the key issues in natural language processing. Currently, supervised WSD methods are effective ways to solve the ambiguity problem. However, due to lacking of large-scale training data, they cannot achieve satisfactory results. In this paper, we present a WSD method based on context translation. The method is based on the assumption that translation under the same context expresses similar meanings. The method treats context words consisting of translation as the pseudo training data, and then derives the meaning of ambiguous words by utilizing the knowledge from both training and pseudo training data. Experimental results show that the proposed method can significantly improve traditional WSD accuracy by 3.17%, and outperformed the best participating system in the SemEval-2007: task #5 evaluation.

Resolving Translation Ambiguity Using Non-Parallel Bilingual Corpora
This paper presents an unsupervised method for choosing the correct translation of a word in context. It learns disambiguation information from nonparallel bilinguM corpora (preferably in the same domain) free from tagging. Our method combines two existing unsupervised disambiguation algorithms: a word sense disambiguation algorithm based on distributional clustering and a translation disambigu...
متن کاملWord Translation Disambiguation without Parallel Texts∗
Word Translation Disambiguation means to select the best translation(s) given a source word in context and a set of target candidates. Two approaches to determining similarity between input and sample context are presented, using n-gram and vector space models with huge annotated monolingual corpora as main knowledge source, rather than relying on large parallel corpora. Experiments on SemEval’...
متن کاملLIMSI : Cross-lingual Word Sense Disambiguation using Translation Sense Clustering
We describe the LIMSI system for the SemEval-2013 Cross-lingual Word Sense Disambiguation (CLWSD) task. Word senses are represented by means of translation clusters in different languages built by a cross-lingual Word Sense Induction (WSI) method. Our CLWSD classifier exploits the WSI output for selecting appropriate translations for target words in context. We present the design of the system ...
متن کاملKnowledge Based Approaches to Nepali Word Sense Disambiguation
A word may have multiple senses and the challenge is to find out which particular sense is appropriate in a given context. Word sense disambiguation(WSD) resolves this ambiguity by finding out which particular sense of a word is appropriate in a given context. WSD is of critical importance in the areas of machine translation, information retrieval, speech processing etc. In this paper we presen...
متن کاملA Review Of Literature On Word Sense Disambiguation
lexical ambiguity is a fundamental characteristic of language. Words can have more than one distinct meaning. Word sense disambiguation is defined as the problem of computationally determining which”sense”of a word is correct in given context. Word sense disambiguation is a task of classification where word senses are the classes, the context provides the evidence, and each occurrence of a word...
متن کاملNRC: A Machine Translation Approach to Cross-Lingual Word Sense Disambiguation (SemEval-2013 Task 10)
This paper describes the NRC submission to the Spanish Cross-Lingual Word Sense Disambiguation task at SemEval-2013. Since this word sense disambiguation task uses Spanish translations of English words as gold annotation, it can be cast as a machine translation problem. We therefore submitted the output of a standard phrase-based system as a baseline, and investigated ways to improve its sense ...
