You Shall Know the Most Frequent Sense by the Company it Keeps

Abstract

Identification of the most frequent sense of a polysemous word is an important semantic task. We introduce two concepts that can benefit MFS detection: companions, which are the most frequently co-occurring words, and the most frequent translation in a bitext. We present two novel methods that incorporate these new concepts, and show that they advance the state of the art on MFS detection.
