Complementarity of lexical and simple syntactic features: The SyntaLex approach to Senseval-3
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the SyntaLex entries in the English Lexical Sample Task of SENSEVAL-3. There are four entries in all, where each of the different entries corresponds to use of word bigrams or Part of Speech tags as features. The systems rely on bagged decision trees, and focus on using pairs of lexical and syntactic features individually and in combination. They are descendants of the Duluth systems that participated in SENSEVAL-2.

متن کاملMachine Learning with Lexical Features: The Duluth Approach to SENSEVAL-2
This paper describes the sixteen Duluth entries in the Senseval-2 comparative exercise among word sense disambiguation systems. There were eight pairs of Duluth systems entered in the Spanish and English lexical sample tasks. These are all based on standard machine learning algorithms that induce classifiers from sense-tagged training text where the context in which ambiguous words occur are re...

For SENSEVAL-3, the University of Maryland (UMD) team focused on two primary issues: the portability of sense disambigation across languages, and the exploitation of real-world bilingual text as a resource for unsupervised sense tagging. We validated the portability of our supervised disambiguation approach by applying it in seven tasks (English, Basque, Catalan, Chinese, Romanian, Spanish, and...

This paper presents a novel approach for exploiting the global context for the task of word sense disambiguation (WSD). This is done by using topic features constructed using the latent dirichlet allocation (LDA) algorithm on unlabeled data. The features are incorporated into a modified naı̈ve Bayes network alongside other features such as part-of-speech of neighboring words, single words in the...
