Two possible attachments are considered in the literature: either noun attachment or verb attachment. In this paper, we consider the problem from ...

Identifying ambiguous requirements is an important aspect of software development, as it prevents design and implementation errors that are costly to correct. Unfortunately, few efforts have been made to automatically solve the problem. In this paper, we study the problem of lexical ambiguity detection and propose methods that can automatically identify potentially ambiguous concepts in softwar...
