Subcategorization Acquisition as an Evaluation Method for WSD
نویسندگان
چکیده
Evaluation of word sense disambiguation (WSD) systems is often based on machine-readable dictionaries (MRDs). Such evaluation typically employs a set of fine-grained dictionary senses and considers them all to be equally important. In this paper, we propose a novel evaluation method for WSD systems in the context of automatic subcategorization acquisition. Building on an extant subcategorization acquisition system, we show that the system would benefit from WSD and propose modifications which allow it to make use of WSD. The enhanced subcategorization acquisition system can then be used as a task-based evaluation method for WSD systems where both the notion of sense and the sense’s relevance to the evaluation process is determined by the application itself.

Probabilistic word sense disambiguation : Analysis and techniques for combining knowledge sources
This thesis shows that probabilistic word sense disambiguation systems based on established statistical methods are strong competitors to current state-of-the-art word sense disambiguation (WSD) systems. We begin with a survey of approaches to WSD, and examine their performance in the systems submitted to the Senseval-2 WSD evaluation exercise. We discuss existing resources for WSD, and investi...
متن کاملUsing Verb Subcategorization for Word Sense Disambiguation
We develop a model for predicting verb sense from subcategorization information and integrate it into SSI-Dijkstra, a wide-coverage knowledge-based WSD algorithm. Adding syntactic knowledge in this way should correct the current poor performance of WSD systems on verbs. This paper also presents, for the first time, an evaluation of SSI-Dijkstra on a standard data set which enables a comparison ...
متن کاملSubcategorization Acquisition and Evaluation for Chinese Verbs
This paper describes the technology and an experiment of subcategorization acquisition for Chinese verbs. The SCF hypotheses are generated by means of linguistic heuristic information and filtered via statistical methods. Evaluation on the acquisition of 20 multi-pattern verbs shows that our experiment achieved the similar precision and recall with former researches. Besides, simple application...
