Is Word Sense Disambiguation Just One More NLP Task?

نویسنده

  • Yorick Wilks
چکیده

The paper compares the tasks of part-of-speech (POS) tagging and word-sense-tagging or disambiguation (WSD), and argues that the tasks are not related by fineness of grain or anything like that, but are quite different kinds of task, particularly because there is nothing in POS corresponding to sense novelty. The paper also argues for the reintegration of sub-tasks that are being separated for evaluation.

A Naïve Bayes Approach for Word Sense Disambiguation

The word sense disambiguation (WSD) is the task ofautomatically selecting the correct sense given a context and it helps in solving many ambiguity problems inherently existing in all natural languages.Statistical Natural Language Processing (NLP),which is based on probabilistic, stochastic and statistical methods, has been used to solve many NLP problems.The Naive Bayes algorithm which is one o...

Unsupervised Visual Sense Disambiguation for Verbs using Multimodal Embeddings

We introduce a new task, visual sense disambiguation for verbs: given an image and a verb, assign the correct sense of the verb, i.e., the one that describes the action depicted in the image. Just as textual word sense disambiguation is useful for a wide range of NLP tasks, visual sense disambiguation can be useful for multimodal tasks such as image retrieval, image description, and text illust...

What is word sense disambiguation good for?

Word sense disambiguation has developed as a sub-area of natural language processing, as if, like parsing, it was a well-defined task which was a pre-requisite to a wide range of language-understanding applications. First, I review earlier work which shows that a set of senses for a word is only ever defined relative to a particular human purpose, and that a view of word senses as part of the l...

UofL: Word Sense Disambiguation Using Lexical Cohesion

One of the main challenges in the applications (i.e.: text summarization, question answering, information retrieval, etc.) of Natural Language Processing is to determine which of the several senses of a word is used in a given context. The problem is phrased as “Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD)” in the NLP community. This paper presents the dictionary based disambiguation technique that adopts t...
