چکیده

One of the main challenges in the applications (i.e.: text summarization, question answering, information retrieval, etc.) of Natural Language Processing is to determine which of the several senses of a word is used in a given context. The problem is phrased as “Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD)” in the NLP community. This paper presents the dictionary based disambiguation technique that adopts the assumption of one sense per discourse in the context of SemEval-2007 Task 7: “Coarse-grained English all-words”.

Without any back-off policy the result on...

The success of supervised learning approaches to word sense disambiguation is largely dependent on the features used to represent the context in which an ambiguous word occurs. Previous work has reached mixed conclusions; some suggest that combinations of syntactic and lexical features will perform most effectively. However, others have shown that simple lexical features perform well on their o...

Word Sense Subjectivity for Cross-lingual Lexical Substitution

We explore the relation between word sense subjectivity and cross-lingual lexical substitution, following the intuition that good substitutions will transfer a word’s (contextual) sentiment from the source language into the target language. Experiments on English-Chinese lexical substitution show that taking a word’s subjectivity into account can indeed improve performance. We also show that ju...

Using Relevant Domains Resource for Word Sense Disambiguation

This paper presents a new method for Word Sense Disambiguation based on the WordNet Domains lexical resource [4]. The underlaying working hypothesis is that domain labels, such as ARCHITECTURE, SPORT and MEDICINE provide a natural way to establish semantic relations between word senses, that can be used during the disambiguation process. This resource has already been used on Word Sense Disambi...
