Epilogue to “Resolving lexical ambiguity computationally with spreading activation and Polaroid Words”
Now that the ideas of software agents and of object-oriented programming are ubiquitous, it’s much easier to explain Polaroid Words than it was in 1988 when the paper was published, or in 1982, when the work commenced (Hirst and Charniak 1982):1 PWs are communicating asynchronous processes that work together, swapping information about words and thematic roles, adjuncts, and arguments so that e...

The study aimed to shed light on the use of gesture in resolving lexical ambiguity employed by TEFL students. To this end, 60 intermediate Iranian learners, studying at Kish Way Language School in Iran were recruited. The participants were randomly put into two experimental groups and one control group. Both of the experimental groups received the same teaching approach, i.e. teaching homonyms ...
متن کاملSegmenting Narrative Text into Coherent Scenes
This paper describes a quantitative indicator for segmenting narrative text into coherent scenes. The indicator, called the lexical cohesion pro le (LCP), records lexical cohesiveness of words in a xed-length window moving word by word on the text. The cohesiveness of words, which represents their coherence, is computed by spreading activation on a semantic network. The basic idea of LCP is: (1...
متن کاملComputing Lexical Cohesion as a Tool for Text Analysis
Recognizing coherent structure of a text is an essential task in natural language understanding. It is necessary, for example, to resolve anaphora, ellipsis, and ambiguity. One of the dominant factors of coherence of the text structure is lexical cohesion, namely the dependency relationship between words based on associative relations in common knowledge. This thesis proposes an objective and c...
متن کاملSupervised Word Sense Disambiguation for Urdu Using Bayesian Classification
In almost all languages words usually have multiple senses or meanings. WSD (Word Sense Disambiguation) is a task of recognizing the correct sense of a word in a particular context. Identifying correct sense of an ambiguous word becomes very vital when a language is needed to be translated into another language or information is needed to be extracted using ambiguous words. There is a massive w...
