Semi-Supervised WSD in Selectional Preferences with Semantic Redundancy
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes a semi-supervised approach for WSD in Word-Class based selectional preferences. The approach exploits syntagmatic and paradigmatic semantic redundancy in the semantic system and uses association computation and minimum description length for the task of WSD. Experiments on Predicate-Object collocations and Subject-Predicate collocations with polysemous predicates in Chinese show that the proposed approach achieves a precision which is 8% higher than the semanticassociation based baseline. The semisupervised nature of the approach makes it promising for constructing large scale selectional preference knowledge base.

Selection Preference Basede Verb Sense Disambiguation Using WordNet
Selectional preferences are a source of linguistic information commonly applied to the task of Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD). To date, WSD systems using selectional preferences as the main disambiguation mechanism have achieved limited success. One possible reason for this limitation is the limited number of semantic roles used in the construction of selectional preferences. This study invest...
متن کاملDisambiguating Nouns, Verbs, and Adjectives Using Automatically Acquired Selectional Preferences
Selectional preferences have been used by word sense disambiguation (WSD) systems as one source of disambiguating information. We evaluate WSD using selectional preferences acquired for English adjective–noun, subject, and direct object grammatical relationships with respect to a standard test corpus. The selectional preferences are specific to verb or adjective classes, rather than individual ...

The selectional preferences of verbal predicates are an important component of a computational lexicon. They have frequently been cited as being useful for wsd, alongside other sources of knowledge. We evaluate automatically acquired selectional preferences on the level playing eld provided by senseval to examine to what extent they help in WSD.

This paper investigates whether multisemantic-role (MSR) based selectional preferences can be used to improve the performance of supervised verb sense disambiguation. Unlike conventional selectional preferences which are extracted from parse trees based on hand-crafted rules, and only include the direct subject or the direct object of the verbs, the MSR based selectional preferences to be prese...
متن کاملWord Sense Disambiguation Using Semi-Supervised Naive Bayes with Ontological Constraints
Background. Word sense disambiguation (WSD) is the task of mapping an ambiguous word to its correct sense given its context. As high-quality sensetagged data is scarce and expensive to obtain, attention has shifted from fullysupervised to semi-supervised and knowledge-based approaches to WSD that rely on a lexical knowledge base such as WordNet instead of large amounts of hand-labeled data. Wha...
