A Quick Tour of Word Sense Disambiguation, Induction and Related Approaches

Abstract: Abstract. Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) and Word Sense Induction (WSI) are two fundamental tasks in Natural Language Processing (NLP), i.e., those of, respectively, automatically assigning meaning to words in context from a predefined sense inventory and discovering senses from text for a given input word. The two tasks have generally been hard to perform with high accuracy. However, today innovations in approach to WSD and WSI are promising to open up many interesting new horizons in NLP and Information Ret… Show more

“…Obtaining accurate semantic representations of individual word senses or concepts is vital for several applications in Natural Language Processing (NLP) such as, for example, Word Sense Disambiguation (Navigli, 2009;Navigli, 2012), Entity Linking (Bunescu and Paşca, 2006;Rao et al, 2013), semantic similarity (Budanitsky and Hirst, 2006), Information Extraction (Banko et al, 2007), and resource linking and integration (Pilehvar and Navigli, 2014). One prominent semantic representation approach is the distributional semantic model, which represents lexical items as vectors in a semantic space.…”

“…Approaches used in WSD can be categorized as supervised, unsupervised, semi-supervised, knowledgebased, bootstrapped, hybrid and dictionary-based approaches [2,16,19,[21][22][23][24]. The Dictionary based approach is the oldest approach and it was proposed by Karov and Edelman [28].…”
