Chinese Word Sense Disambiguation with PageRank and HowNet
نویسندگان
چکیده
Word sense disambiguation is a basic problem in natural language processing. This paper proposed an unsupervised word sense disambiguation method based PageRank and HowNet. In the method, a free text is firstly represented as a sememe graph with sememes as vertices and relatedness of sememes as weighted edges based on HowNet. Then UW-PageRank is applied on the sememe graph to score the importance of sememes. Score of each definition of one word can be computed from the score of sememes it contains. Finally, the highest scored definition is assigned to the word. This approach is tested on SENSEVAL-3 and the experimental results prove practical and effective.

A Maximum Entropy Approach To HowNet-Based Chinese Word Sense Disambiguation
This paper presents a maximum entropy method for the disambiguation of word senses as defined in HowNet. With the release of this bilingual (Chinese and English) knowledge base in 1999, a corpus of 30,000 words was sense tagged and released in January 2002. Concepts meanings in HowNet are constructed by a closed set of sememes, the smallest meaning units, which can be treated as semantic tags. ...
متن کاملAn Unsupervised Approach to Chinese Word Sense Disambiguation Based on Hownet
The research on word sense disambiguation (WSD) has great theoretical and practical significance in many fields of natural language processing (NLP). This paper presents an unsupervised approach to Chinese word sense disambiguation based on Hownet (an electronic Chinese lexical resource). In our approach, contexts that include ambiguous words are converted into vectors by means of a second-orde...
متن کاملAutomatic Sense Derivation for Determinative-Measure Compounds under the Framework of E-HowNet
In this paper, we take Determinative-Measure Compounds as an example to demonstrate how the E-HowNet semantic composition mechanism works in deriving the sense representation for a newly coined determinative-measure (DM) compound. First, we define the sense of a closed set of each individual determiner and measure word in E-HowNet representation exhaustively. Afterwards, we make semantic compos...
متن کاملComputational Models for Chinese Selectional Preferences Induction
Selectional preference (SP) is an important kind of semantic knowledge. It can be used in various natural language processing tasks, including metaphor computing, lexicon building, syntactic structure disambiguation, word sense disambiguation, semantic role labeling, anaphora resolution, etc. This paper presents and compares two computational models for Chinese SP induction, a HowNet-based Sele...
متن کاملHowNet and Its Computation of Meaning
The presentation will mainly cover (1) What is HowNet? HowNet is an on-line common-sense knowledgebase unveiling inter-conceptual relationships and interattribute relationships of concepts as connoting in lexicons of the Chinese and their English equivalents. (2) How it functions in the computation of meaning and as a NLP platform? The presentation will show 9 HowNet-based application tools. Al...
