چکیده

In this paper we introduce the novel task of “word epoch disambiguation,” defined as the problem of identifying changes in word usage over time. Through experiments run using word usage examples collected from three major periods of time (1800, 1900, 2000), we show that the task is feasible, and significant differences can be observed between occurrences of words in different periods of time.

Word Sense Disambiguation for All Words without Hard Labor

While the most accurate word sense disambiguation systems are built using supervised learning from sense-tagged data, scaling them up to all words of a language has proved elusive, since preparing a sense-tagged corpus for all words of a language is time-consuming and human labor intensive. In this paper, we propose and implement a completely automatic approach to scale up word sense disambigua...

Multilingual Word Sense Disambiguation Using Aligned Wordnets

Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD from now on) represents an established task within Natural Language Processing community, aiming at finding the right sense of a word occurring in a free running text through the use of a computer algorithm. Currently, most of the WSD approaches consider only monolingual texts, and, as such, they rely mainly on the discriminatory power of the words appearing in th...
