Using Semantic Relatedness and Word Sense Disambiguation for (CL)IR
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we report the experiments for the CLEF 2009 Robust-WSD task, both for the monolingual (English) and the bilingual (Spanish to English) subtasks. Our main experimentation strategy consisted of expanding and translating the documents, based on the related concepts of the documents. For that purpose we applied a state-of-the art semantic relatedness method based on WordNet. The relatedness measure was used with and without WSD information. Even though we obtained positive results in our training and development datasets, we did not manage to improve over the baseline in the monolingual case. The improvement over the baseline in the bilingual case is marginal. We plan further work on this technique, which has attained positive results in the passage retrieval for question answering task at CLEF (ResPubliQA).

A New Method for Applicant of Explicit Semantic Analysis and Word Sense Disambiguation in Concept-based Information Retrieval
previous Information retrieval (IR) systems based on keywords to retrieve and index documents. They may return inaccurate results when different keywords are employed to illustrate the same concept in the documents and in the queries presented by Users. In Concept-based retrieval methods have tried to tackle these troubles by using concept-based comparison between documents and queries. Therefo...
متن کاملSemantic Relatedness for Biomedical Word Sense Disambiguation
This paper presents a graph-based method for all-word word sense disambiguation of biomedical texts using semantic relatedness as edge weight. Semantic relatedness is derived from a term-topic co-occurrence matrix. The sense inventory is generated by the MetaMap program. Word sense disambiguation is performed on a disambiguation graph via a vertex centrality measure. The proposed method achieve...
متن کاملSenseRelate: : TargetWord-A Generalized Framework for Word Sense Disambiguation
We have previously introduced a method of word sense disambiguation that computes the intended sense of a target word, using WordNet-based measures of semantic relatedness (Patwardhan et al., 2003). SenseRelate::TargetWord is a Perl package that implements this algorithm. The disambiguation process is carried out by selecting that sense of the target word which is most related to the context wo...
متن کاملAn Ordering of Terms Based on Semantic Relatedness
Term selection methods typically employ a statistical measure to filter or weight terms. Term expansion for IR may also depend on statistics, or use some other, non-metric method based on a lexical resource. At the same time, a wide range of semantic similarity measures have been developed to support natural language processing tasks such as word sense disambiguation. This paper combines the tw...
