Word sense disambiguation (WSD) is the task of determining the sense of a word in context. Translations have been used in WSD as a source of knowledge, and even as a means of delimiting word senses. In this paper, we define three…

This work presents an unsupervised approach for improving WordNet that builds upon recent advances in document and sense representation via distributional semantics. We apply our methods to construct Wordnets in French and Russian,…

We compare the performance of different clustering algorithms applied to the task of unsupervised text categorization. We consider agglomerative clustering algorithms, principal direction divisive partitioning and (for the first time)…

We consider the problem of aligning two sets of continuous word representations, corresponding to languages, to a common space in order to infer a bilingual lexicon. It was recently shown that it is possible to infer such lexicon, without…

Learning representations for semantic relations is important for various tasks such as analogy detection, relational search, and relation classification. Although there have been several proposals for learning representations for individual…

This paper proposes an efficient example sampling method for example-based word sense disambiguation systems. To construct a database of practical size, a considerable overhead for manual sense disambiguation (overhead for supervision) is…

One of the major problems in natural language processing (NLP) is the word sense disambiguation (WSD) problem. It is the task of computationally identifying the right sense of a polysemous word based on its context. Resolving the WSD…

Words unknown to the lexicon present a substantial problem to part-of-speech tagging. In this paper we present a technique for fully unsupervised statistical acquisition of rules which guess possible parts-of-speech for unknown words. Three…

This paper offers a mini review of Visual Word Sense Disambiguation (VWSD), which is a multimodal extension of traditional Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD). VWSD helps tackle lexical ambiguity in vision-language tasks. While conventional WSD…

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…

Pre-trained contextual language models are ubiquitously employed for language understanding tasks, but are unsuitable for resource-constrained systems. Noncontextual word embeddings are an efficient alternative in these settings. Such…

We present a word-sense induction method based on pre-trained masked language models (MLMs), which can cheaply scale to large vocabularies and large corpora. The result is a corpus which is sense-tagged according to a corpus-derived sense…

Recent embedding-based methods in unsupervised bilingual lexicon induction have shown good results, but generally have not leveraged orthographic (spelling) information, which can be helpful for pairs of related languages. This work…

Word sense induction (WSI) is the problem of grouping occurrences of an ambiguous word according to the expressed sense of this word. Recently a new approach to this task was proposed, which generates possible substitutes for the ambiguous…

Bilingual lexicons map words in one language to their translations in another, and are typically induced by learning linear projections to align monolingual word embedding spaces. In this paper, we show it is possible to produce much higher…

Cross-lingual transfer of word embeddings aims to establish the semantic mappings among words in different languages by learning the transformation functions over the corresponding word embedding spaces. Successfully solving this problem…

Biomedical word sense disambiguation (WSD) is an important intermediate task in many natural language processing applications such as named entity recognition, syntactic parsing, and relation extraction. In this paper, we employ…

Entity disambiguation, or mapping a phrase to its canonical representation in a knowledge base, is a fundamental step in many natural language processing applications. Existing techniques based on global ranking models fail to capture the…

The proposed algorithmic approach deals with finding the sense of a word in an electronic data. Now a day,in different communication mediums like internet, mobile services etc. people use few words, which are slang in nature. This approach…

In this paper, we show how unsupervised sense representations can be used to improve hypernymy extraction. We present a method for extracting disambiguated hypernymy relationships that propagates hypernyms to sets of synonyms (synsets),…
