This paper describes ongoing work, aimed at producing a lexicon of prepositions, i.e. relations denoted by prepositions, to be used for information retrieval purposes. The work is ontology based, which for this project means that the ontological types of the arguments of the preposition are considered, rather than the word forms. Thus, sense distinctions are made based on ontological constraint...

background and aim: motion sickness (ms) is usually generated when there is a mismatch between the senses which serve balance. one of these senses is related to vestibular system, so it is highly possible that ms reflects in vestibular test results. but there are some conflicts in correlation between vestibular findings and ms. thus, the objective of this study was to provide an overview of ves...

This study attempts to pinpoint the factors that restrict reliable word sense annotation, focusing on the influence of the number of senses annotators use and the semantic granularity of those senses. Both of these factors may be possible causes of low interannotator agreement (ITA) when tagging with fine-grained word senses, and, consequently, low WSD system performance (Ng et al., 1999; Snyde...

Supervised and semi-supervised sense disambiguation methods will mis-tag the instances of a target word if the senses of these instances are not defined in sense inventories or there are no tagged instances for these senses in training data. Here we used a model order identification method to avoid the misclassification of the instances with undefined senses by discovering new senses from mixed...

All technologies have been emerged during the vision of Semantic Web are helpful for knowledge applications in various research areas. Semantic Web will consist of a distributed environment of shared and interoperable ontologies. Since building ontologies from scratch is not an easy task and is a time-consuming process, there is another perspective, which studies the approaches for developing a...

Different types of word knowledge require different approaches to teaching. It is argued that learning senses words takes place through constantly encountering in contexts. Experimental studies also show comprehension unknown (Iravani and Ghasemi, 2013) ambiguity resolution polysemous (Watanabe, 2014) are facilitated when the context available. Verbal polysemy especially closely related context...
