چکیده

This paper presents a new open text word sense disambiguation method that combines the use of logical inferences with PageRank-style algorithms applied on graphs extracted from natural language documents. We evaluate the accuracy of the proposed algorithm on several senseannotated texts, and show that it consistently outperforms the accuracy of other previously proposed knowledge-based word sense disambiguation methods. We also explore and evaluate methods that combine several open-text word sense disambiguation algorithms.

Highlighting relevant concepts from Topic Signatures

This paper presents deepKnowNet, a new fully automatic method for building highly dense and accurate knowledge bases from existing semantic resources. Basically, the method applies a knowledge-based Word Sense Disambiguation algorithm to assign the most appropriate WordNet sense to large sets of topically related words acquired from the web, named TSWEB. This Word Sense Disambiguation algorithm...

Chinese Word Sense Disambiguation with PageRank and HowNet

Word sense disambiguation is a basic problem in natural language processing. This paper proposed an unsupervised word sense disambiguation method based PageRank and HowNet. In the method, a free text is firstly represented as a sememe graph with sememes as vertices and relatedness of sememes as weighted edges based on HowNet. Then UW-PageRank is applied on the sememe graph to score the importan...

Random Walk on WordNet to Measure Lexical Semantic Relatedness

The need to determine semantic relatedness or its inverse, semantic distance, between two lexically expressed concepts is a problem that pervades much of natural language processing such as document summarization, information extraction and retrieval, word sense disambiguation and the automatic correction of word errors in text. Standard ways of measuring similarity between two words on a thesa...

Unsupervised All-words Word Sense Disambiguation with Grammatical Dependencies

We present experiments that analyze the necessity of using a highly interconnected word/sense graph for unsupervised allwords word sense disambiguation. We show that allowing only grammatically related words to influence each other’s senses leads to disambiguation results on a par with the best graph-based systems, while greatly reducing the computation load. We also compare two methods for com...

Semantic Relatedness Metric for Wikipedia Concepts Based on Link Analysis and its Application to Word Sense Disambiguation

Wikipedia has grown into a high quality up-todate knowledge base and can enable many knowledge-based applications, which rely on semantic information. One of the most general and quite powerful semantic tools is a measure of semantic relatedness between concepts. Moreover, the ability to efficiently produce a list of ranked similar concepts for a given concept is very important for a wide range...
