Word Sense Disambiguation for Information Retrieval
نویسندگان
چکیده
Motivation: Documents related to an IR query sometimes contain only the synonyms of the query words instead of the query words themselves. A simple IR system with no knowledge of synonyms fails to recognize the relevance of these documents to the query. So, we can improve recall of IR systems by considering the synonyms of the query words as a part of the IR query. However, only relevant synonyms of the query words in the given context contribute useful information to the query. We can identify these relevant synonyms with the help of a disambiguation algorithm.

Word Sense Disambiguation for Cross-Language Information Retrieval
We have developed a word sense disambiguation algorithm, following Cheng and Wilensky (1997), to disambiguate among WordNet synsets. This algorithm is to be used in a cross-language information retrieval system, CINDOR, which indexes queries and documents in a language-neutral concept representation based on WordNet synsets. Our goal is to improve retrieval precision through word sense disambig...

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 Review Of Literature On Word Sense Disambiguation
lexical ambiguity is a fundamental characteristic of language. Words can have more than one distinct meaning. Word sense disambiguation is defined as the problem of computationally determining which”sense”of a word is correct in given context. Word sense disambiguation is a task of classification where word senses are the classes, the context provides the evidence, and each occurrence of a word...
متن کاملTREC 2002 Web Track "Automated Word Sense Disambiguation for Internet Information Retrieval"
We describe an attempt to use automated word sense disambiguation to improve the performance of an internet information retrieval system. A performance comparison of term frequency verses word sense frequency was carried out, the results of which indicated no significant performance gains from using a sense based retrieval model instead of the traditional TF*IDF.
متن کاملOn the Importance of Word Sense Disambiguation for Information Retrieval
Research in information retrieval has led to mixed results about the impact of natural language processing. This paper discusses the importance of word sense disambiguation despite these mixed results. We first discuss some of the factors that can cause apparent inconsistency in retrieval performance with regard to natural language processing: instability of test collection queries, different b...
متن کاملDistributional Semantics Approach to Thai Word Sense Disambiguation
Word sense disambiguation is one of the most important open problems in natural language processing applications such as information retrieval and machine translation. Many approach strategies can be employed to resolve word ambiguity with a reasonable degree of accuracy. These strategies are: knowledgebased, corpus-based, and hybrid-based. This paper pays attention to the corpus-based strategy...
