Word Sense Disambiguation is an open problem in Natural Language Processing which is particularly challenging and useful in the unsupervised setting where all the words in any given text need to be disambiguated without using any labeled…
Word sense induction (WSI) is a difficult problem in natural language processing that involves the unsupervised automatic detection of a word's senses (i.e. meanings). Recent work achieves significant results on the WSI task by pre-training…
We propose KDSL, a new word sense disambiguation (WSD) framework that utilizes knowledge to automatically generate sense-labeled data for supervised learning. First, from WordNet, we automatically construct a semantic knowledge base called…
