Japanese Word Sense Disambiguation using the Simple Bayes and Support Vector Machine Methods
نویسندگان
چکیده
We submitted four systems to the Japanese dictionary-based lexical-sample task of SENSEVAL-2. They were i) the support vector machine method ii) the simple Bayes method, iii) a method combining the two, and iv) a method combining two kinds of each. The combined methods obtained the best precision among the submitted systems. After the contest, we tuned the parameter used in the simple Bayes method, and it obtained higher preciSIOn. An explanation of these systems used in Japanese word sense disambiguation was provided.

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 کاملIdentifying Word Senses in Greek Text: A comparison of machine learning methods
In this paper we perform a comparative evaluation of machine learning methods on the task of identifying the correct sense of a word, based on the context in which it appears. This task is known as word sense disambiguation (WSD) and is one of the hardest and most interesting issues in language engineering. Research on the use of machine learning techniques for WSD has so far focused almost exc...
متن کاملImproving the Performance of Bayesian and Support Vector Classifiers in Word Sense Disambiguation Using Positional Information
We explore word position-sensitive models and their realizations in word sense disambiguation tasks when using Naive Bayes and Support Vector Machine classifiers. It is shown that a straightforward incorporation of word positional information fails to improve the performance of either method on average. However, we demonstrate that our special kernel that takes into account word positions stati...
متن کاملAn Empirical Evaluation of Knowledge Sources and Learning Algorithms for Word Sense Disambiguation
In this paper, we evaluate a variety of knowledge sources and supervised learning algorithms for word sense disambiguation on SENSEVAL-2 and SENSEVAL-1 data. Our knowledge sources include the part-of-speech of neighboring words, single words in the surrounding context, local collocations, and syntactic relations. The learning algorithms evaluated include Support Vector Machines (SVM), Naive Bay...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of Support Vector Machines Applied to the Supervised Word Sense Disambiguation Problem in the Medical Domain
We have applied five supervised learning approaches to word sense disambiguation in the medical domain. Our objective is to evaluate Support Vector Machines (SVMs) in comparison with other well known supervised learning algorithms including the näıve Bayes classifier, C4.5 decision trees, decision lists and boosting approaches. Based on these results we introduce further refinements of these ap...
