Extracting Glosses to Disambiguate Word Senses
نویسندگان
چکیده
Like most natural language disambiguation tasks, word sense disambiguation (WSD) requires world knowledge for accurate predictions. Several proxies for this knowledge have been investigated, including labeled corpora, user-contributed knowledge, and machine readable dictionaries, but each of these proxies requires significant manual effort to create, and they do not cover all of the ambiguous terms in a language. We investigate the task of automatically extracting world knowledge, in the form of glosses, from an unlabeled corpus. We demonstrate how to use these glosses to automatically label a training corpus to build a statistical WSD system that uses no manually-labeled data, with experimental results approaching that of a supervised SVMbased classifier.

Using Cycles and Quasi-Cycles to Disambiguate Dictionary Glosses
We present a novel graph-based algorithm for the automated disambiguation of glosses in lexical knowledge resources. A dictionary graph is built starting from senses (vertices) and explicit or implicit relations in the dictionary (edges). The approach is based on the identification of edge sequences which constitute cycles in the dictionary graph (possibly with one edge reversed) and relate a s...
متن کاملA gloss-centered algorithm for disambiguation
The task of word sense disambiguation is to assign a sense label to a word in a passage. We report our algorithms and experiments for the two tasks that we participated in viz. the task of WSD of WordNet glosses and the task of WSD of English lexical sample. For both the tasks, we explore a method of sense disambiguation through a process of “comparing” the current context for a word against a ...
متن کاملAn Approach to Speed-up the Word Sense Disambiguation Procedure through Sense Filtering
In this paper, we are going to focus on speed up of the Word Sense Disambiguation procedure by filtering the relevant senses of an ambiguous word through Part-of-Speech Tagging. First, this proposed approach performs the Part-of-Speech Tagging operation before the disambiguation procedure using Bigram approximation. As a result, the exact Part-of-Speech of the ambiguous word at a particular tex...
متن کاملITRI - 97 - 12 ” I don ’ t believe in word senses ”
Word sense disambiguation assumes word senses. Within the lexicography and linguistics literature, they are known to be very slippery entities. The paper looks at problems with existing accounts of ‘word sense’ and describes the various kinds of ways in which a word’s meaning can deviate from its core meaning. An analysis is presented in which word senses are abstractions from clusters of corpu...
