Word Sense Disambiguation using a dictionary for sense similarity measure
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a disambiguation method in which word senses are determined using a dictionary. We use a semantic proximity measure between words in the dictionary, taking into account the whole topology of the dictionary, seen as a graph on its entries. We have tested the method on the problem of disambiguation of the dictionary entries themselves, with promising results considering we do not use any prior

Using WordNet and Semantic Similarity for Bilingual Terminology Mining from Comparable Corpora
This paper presents an extension of the standard approach used for bilingual lexicon extraction from comparable corpora. We study of the ambiguity problem revealed by the seed bilingual dictionary used to translate context vectors. For this purpose, we augment the standard approach by a Word Sense Disambiguation process relying on a WordNet-based semantic similarity measure. The aim of this pro...
متن کاملGloss-Based Semantic Similarity Metrics for Predominant Sense Acquisition
In recent years there have been various approaches aimed at automatic acquisition of predominant senses of words. This information can be exploited as a powerful backoff strategy for word sense disambiguation given the zipfian distribution of word senses. Approaches which do not require manually sense-tagged data have been proposed for English exploiting lexical resources available, notably Wor...
متن کاملWord Sense disambiguation for Arabic language using the variants of the Lesk algorithm
In this paper, we evaluate the variants of the Lesk algorithm to disambiguate Arabic words. In the first experiment we apply the original Lesk algorithm using the dictionary as a resource. As a second experience, we add some modifications for this algorithm, using the different similarity measures to determine the similarity relatedness between two concepts in Arabic Wordnet. We attempted to fi...
متن کاملLearning Similarity-based Word Sense Disambiguation from Sparse Data
We describe a method for automatic word sense disambiguation using a text corpus and a machine-readable dictionary (MRD). The method is based on word similarity and context similarity measures. Words are considered similar if they appear in similar contexts; contexts are similar if they contain similar words. The circularity of this definition is resolved by an iterative, converging process, in...
