Word Sense Disambiguation using Conceptual Density

چکیده

This paper presents a method for the resolution of lexical ambiguity of nouns and its automatic evaluation over the Brown Corpus. The method relies on the use of the widecoverage noun taxonomy of WordNet and the notion of conceptual distance among concepts, captured by a Conceptual Density formula developed for this purpose. This fully automatic method requires no hand coding of lexical entries, hand tagging of text nor any kind of training process. The results of the experiments have been automatically evaluated against SemCor, the sense-tagged version of the Brown Corpus.

The Role of Conceptual Relations in Word Sense Disambiguation

We explore many ways of using conceptual distance measures in Word Sense Disambiguation, starting with the Agirre-Rigau conceptual density measure. We use a generalized form of this measure, introducing many (parameterized) refinements and performing an exhaustive evaluation of all meaningful combinations. We finally obtain a 42% improvement over the original algorithm, and show that measures o...

Context Expansion with Global Keywords for a Conceptual Density-Based WSD

The resolution of the lexical ambiguity, which is commonly referred to as Word Sense Disambiguation, is still an open problem in the field of Natural Language Processing. An approach to Word Sense Disambiguation based on Conceptual Density (a measure of the correlation between concepts) obtained good results with small context windows. This paper presents a method to integrate global knowledge,...

Integrating Conceptual Density with WordNet Domains and CALD Glosses for Noun Sense Disambiguation

The lack of large, semantically annotated corpora is one of the main drawbacks of Word Sense Disambiguation systems. Unsupervised systems do not need such corpora and rely on the information of the WordNet ontology. In order to improve their performance, the use of other lexical resources need to be investigated. This paper describes the effort to integrate the Conceptual Density approach with ...

The upv-unige-CIAOSENSO WSD system

The CIAOSENSO WSD system is based on Conceptual Density, WordNet Domains and frequences of WordNet senses. This paper describes the upvunige-CIAOSENSO WSD system, we participated in the english all-word task with, and its versions used for the english lexical sample and the WordNet gloss disambiguation tasks. In the last an additional goal was to check if the disambiguation of glosses, that has...
