A Method for Word Sense Disambiguation of Unrestricted Text
نویسندگان
چکیده
Selecting the most appropriate sense for an ambiguous word in a sentence is a central problem in Natural Language Processing. In this paper, we present a method that attempts to disambiguate all the nouns, verbs, adverbs and adjectives in a text, using the senses provided in WordNet. The senses are ranked using two sources of information: (1) the Inter-net for gathering statistics for word-word co-occurrences and (2)WordNet for measuring the semantic density for a pair of words. We report an average accuracy of 80% for the first ranked sense, and 91% for the first two ranked senses. Extensions of this method for larger windows of more than two words are considered.

SenseLearner: Word Sense Disambiguation for All Words in Unrestricted Text
This paper describes SENSELEARNER – a minimally supervised word sense disambiguation system that attempts to disambiguate all content words in a text using WordNet senses. We evaluate the accuracy of SENSELEARNER on several standard sense-annotated data sets, and show that it compares favorably with the best results reported during the recent SENSEVAL evaluations.

Aim: Automatic information retrieval is based on the assumption that texts contain content or structural elements that can be used in word sense disambiguation and thereby improving the effectiveness of the results retrieved. Homographs are among the words requiring sense disambiguation. Depending on their roles and positions in texts, homograph contexts could be divided to different types, wit...
متن کاملA Concept-based Adaptive Approach to Word Sense Disambiguation
Word sense disambiguation for unrestricted text is one of the most difficult tasks in the fields of computational linguistics. The crux of the problem is to discover a model that relates the intended sense of a word with its context. This paper describes a general framework for adaptive conceptual word sense disambiguation. Central to this WSD framework is the sense division and semantic relati...
متن کاملUsing Decision List for Farsi Word Sense Disambiguation
This paper describes Farsi word sense disambiguation in unrestricted text using decision list. Decision list is a rule based algorithm which searches for discriminatory features in the training data and extracts a set of rules. These rules are used for disambiguation of word senses. Since this method is a supervised corpus based method, it needs a Farsi sense-tagged corpus. In this paper, we us...
متن کاملWord Sense Disambiguation using Optimised Combinations of Knowledge Sources
Word sense disambiguation algorithms, with few exceptions, have made use of only one lexical knowledge source. We describe a system which performs unrestricted word sense disambiguation (on all content words in free text) by combining different knowledge sources: semantic preferences, dictionary definitions and subject/domain codes along with part-of-speech tags. The usefulness of these sources...
