WordNet-like Lexical Databases (WLDs) group English words into sets of synonyms called "synsets." Although the standard WLDs are being used in many successful Text-Mining applications, they have the limitation that word-senses are…

Acquisition of multilingual training data continues to be a challenge in word sense disambiguation (WSD). To address this problem, unsupervised approaches have been proposed to automatically generate sense annotations for training…
