چکیده

In this paper, we analyze the effect of resampling techniques, including undersampling and over-sampling used in active learning for word sense disambiguation (WSD). Experimental results show that under-sampling causes negative effects on active learning, but over-sampling is a relatively good choice. To alleviate the withinclass imbalance problem of over-sampling, we propose a bootstrap-based oversampling (BootOS) method that works better than ordinary over-sampling in active learning for WSD. Finally, we investigate when to stop active learning, and adopt two strategies, max-confidence and min-error, as stopping conditions for active learning. According to experimental results, we suggest a prediction solution by considering max-confidence as the upper bound and min-error as the lower bound for stopping conditions.

Review: Semi-Supervised Learning Methods for Word Sense Disambiguation

Word sense disambiguation (WSD) is an open problem of natural language processing, which governs the process of identifying the appropriate sense of a word in a sentence, when the word has multiple meanings. Many approaches have been proposed to solve the problem, of which supervised learning approaches are the most successful. However supervised machine learning are limited by the difficulties...

Learning a Stopping Criterion for Active Learning for Word Sense Disambiguation and Text Classification

In this paper, we address the problem of knowing when to stop the process of active learning. We propose a new statistical learning approach, called minimum expected error strategy, to defining a stopping criterion through estimation of the classifier’s expected error on future unlabeled examples in the active learning process. In experiments on active learning for word sense disambiguation and...

Experiments on Active Learning for Croatian Word Sense Disambiguation

Supervised word sense disambiguation (WSD) has been shown to achieve state-ofthe-art results but at high annotation costs. Active learning can ameliorate that problem by allowing the model to dynamically choose the most informative word contexts for manual labeling. In this paper we investigate the use of active learning for Croatian WSD. We adopt a lexical sample approach and compile a corresp...

رفع ابهام معنایی واژگان مبهم فارسی با مدل موضوعی LDA

Word sense disambiguation is the task of identifying the correct sense for the word in a given context among a finite set of possible sense. In this paper a model for farsi word sense disambiguation is presented. The model use two group of features: first, all word and stop words around target word and topic models as second features. We extract topics from a farsi corpus with Latent Dirichlet ...

Domain Adaptation with Active Learning for Word Sense Disambiguation

When a word sense disambiguation (WSD) system is trained on one domain but applied to a different domain, a drop in accuracy is frequently observed. This highlights the importance of domain adaptation for word sense disambiguation. In this paper, we first show that an active learning approach can be successfully used to perform domain adaptation of WSD systems. Then, by using the predominant se...
