unimelb: Topic Modelling-based Word Sense Induction

چکیده
This paper describes our system for shared task 13 “Word Sense Induction for Graded and Non-Graded Senses” of SemEval-2013. The task is on word sense induction (WSI), and builds on earlier SemEval WSI tasks in exploring the possibility of multiple senses being compatible to varying degrees with a single contextual instance: participants are asked to grade senses rather than selecting a single sense like most word sense disambiguation (WSD) settings. The evaluation measures are designed to assess how well a system perceives the different senses in a contextual instance. We adopt a previously-proposed WSI methodology for the task, which is based on a Hierarchical Dirichlet Process (HDP), a nonparametric topic model. Our system requires no parameter tuning, uses the English ukWaC as an external resource, and achieves encouraging results over the shared task.

unimelb: Topic Modelling-based Word Sense Induction for Web Snippet Clustering
This paper describes our system for Task 11 of SemEval-2013. In the task, participants are provided with a set of ambiguous search queries and the snippets returned by a search engine, and are asked to associate senses with the snippets. The snippets are then clustered using the sense assignments and systems are evaluated based on the quality of the snippet clusters. Our system adopts a preexis...
متن کاملWord Sense Induction for Novel Sense Detection
We apply topic modelling to automatically induce word senses of a target word, and demonstrate that our word sense induction method can be used to automatically detect words with emergent novel senses, as well as token occurrences of those senses. We start by exploring the utility of standard topic models for word sense induction (WSI), with a pre-determined number of topics (=senses). We next ...
متن کاملTopic Modeling for Word Sense Induction
In this paper, we present a novel approach to Word Sense Induction which is based on topic modeling. Key to our methodology is the use of word-topic distributions as a means to estimate sense distributions. We provide these distributions as input to a clustering algorithm in order to automatically distinguish between the senses of semantically ambiguous words. The results of our evaluation expe...
متن کاملKSU KDD: Word Sense Induction by Clustering in Topic Space
We describe our language-independent unsupervised word sense induction system. This system only uses topic features to cluster different word senses in their global context topic space. Using unlabeled data, this system trains a latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) topic model then uses it to infer the topics distribution of the test instances. By clustering these topics distributions in their top...
متن کاملChinese Word Sense Induction with Basic Clustering Algorithms
Word Sense Induction (WSI) is an important topic in natural langage processing area. For the bakeoff task Chinese Word Sense Induction (CWSI), this paper proposes two systems using basic clustering algorithms, k-means and agglomerative clustering. Experimental results show that k-means achieves a better performance. Based only on the data provided by the task organizers, the two systems get FSc...
