A Novel Approach to Word Sense Disambiguation Based on Topical and Semantic Association [PDF]
The Scientific World Journal, 2013 Word sense disambiguation (WSD) is a fundamental problem in nature language processing, the objective of which is to identify the most proper sense for an ambiguous word in a given context. Although WSD has been researched over the years, the performance

Word sense disambiguation of acronyms in clinical narratives [PDF]
Frontiers in Digital HealthClinical narratives commonly use acronyms without explicitly defining their long forms. This makes it difficult to automatically interpret their sense as acronyms tend to be highly ambiguous.

Supervised Learning and Knowledge-Based Approaches Applied to Biomedical Word Sense Disambiguation [PDF]
Journal of Integrative Bioinformatics, 2017 Word sense disambiguation (WSD) is an important step in biomedical text mining, which is responsible for assigning an unequivocal concept to an ambiguous term, improving the accuracy of biomedical information extraction systems.

TWE‐WSD: An effective topical word embedding based word sense disambiguation
CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, 2021 Word embedding has been widely used in word sense disambiguation (WSD) and many other tasks in recent years for it can well represent the semantics of words.

Word sense disambiguation criteria: a systematic study [PDF]
Proceedings of the 20th international conference on Computational Linguistics - COLING '04, 2004 This article describes the results of a systematic in-depth study of the criteria used for word sense disambiguation. Our study is based on 60 target words: 20 nouns, 20 adjectives and 20 verbs.

A Game-Theoretic Approach to Word Sense Disambiguation [PDF]
Computational Linguistics, 2016 This article presents a new model for word sense disambiguation formulated in terms of evolutionary game theory, where each word to be disambiguated is represented as a node on a graph whose edges represent word relations and senses are represented as ...

Knowledge-based biomedical word sense disambiguation: comparison of approaches [PDF]
BMC Bioinformatics, 2010 Background Word sense disambiguation (WSD) algorithms attempt to select the proper sense of ambiguous terms in text. Resources like the UMLS provide a reference thesaurus to be used to annotate the biomedical literature.

Word sense disambiguation for event trigger word detection in biomedicine [PDF]
BMC Bioinformatics, 2011 This paper describes a method for detecting event trigger words in biomedical text based on a word sense disambiguation (WSD) approach. We first investigate the applicability of existing WSD techniques to trigger word disambiguation in the BioNLP 2009 ...

Moving Down the Long Tail of Word Sense Disambiguation with Gloss Informed Bi-encoders [PDF]
Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics, 2020 A major obstacle in Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) is that word senses are not uniformly distributed, causing existing models to generally perform poorly on senses that are either rare or unseen during training.
