Performance is improved by adding component-sequence and learnedmorphology models along with context similarity from monolingual text and opt...

This paper studies the impact of multiword expressions on Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD). Several identification strategies of the multiwords in WordNet2.0 are tested in a real Senseval-3 task: the disambiguation of WordNet glosses. Although we have focused on Word Sense Disambiguation, the same techniques could be applied in more complex tasks, such as Information Retrieval or Question Answer...
