The SENSEVAL-3 task to perform word-sense disambiguation of WordNet glosses was designed to encourage development of technology to make use of standard lexical resources. The task was based on the availability of sensedisambiguated hand-tagged glosses created in the eXtended WordNet project. The hand-tagged glosses provided a “gold standard” for judging the performance of automated disambiguati...

An approach to the word sense disambiguation (WSD) relaying on the WordNet synsets is proposed. The method uses semantically tagged glosses to perform a process similar to the spreading activation in semantic network, creating ranking of the most probable meanings for word annotation. Preliminary evaluation shows quite promising results. Comparison with the state-of-theart WSD methods indicates...

In recent years there has been a growing interest to incorporate hypertext glosses into L2 reading materials and accordingly, it has provoked researchers to uncover to what extent and under which moderator variables a specific type of gloss yields more effective outcomes than other types of glossing. The present meta-analysis attempts to examine the magnitude of the effect of different gloss ty...

We introduce Wiktionary as an emerging lexical semantic resource that can be used as a substitute for expert-made resources in AI applications. We evaluate Wiktionary on the pervasive task of computing semantic relatedness for English and German by means of correlation with human rankings and solving word choice problems. For the first time, we apply a concept vector based measure to a set of d...

Abstract While sound glosses from the Six Dynasties and early Tang provide direct evidence for morphological alternations in Archaic Chinese, studies on syntax of this language generally disregard these data. This neglect is due part to perceived unreliability glosses. In paper, I first argue that arguments against their reliability do not stand scrutiny, they are a simple philological curiosit...
