Main Abstract:
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 classes. The words simultaneously update their class membership preferences according to the senses that neighboring words are likely to choose. We use distributional information to weigh the influence that each word has on the decisions of the others and semantic similarity information to measure the strength of compatibility among the choices. With this information we can formulate the word sense disambiguation problem as a constraint satisfaction problem and solve it using tools derived from game theory, maintaining the textual coherence. The model is based on two ideas: Similar words should be assigned to similar classes and the meaning of a word does not depend on all the words in a text but just on some of them. The article provides an in-depth motivation of the idea of modeling the word sense disambiguation problem in terms of game theory, which is illustrated by an example. The conclusion presents an extensive analysis on the combination of similarity measures to use in the framework and a comparison with state-of-the-art systems. The results show that our model outperforms state-of-the-art algorithms and can be applied to different tasks and in different scenarios.

[1]: Word sense disambiguation (WSD) systems based on supervised learning achieved the best performance in SensEval and SemEval workshops. However, there are few publicly available open source WSD systems. This limits the use of WSD in other applications, especially for researchers whose research interests are not in WSD. In this paper, we present IMS, a supervised English all-words WSD system. The flexible framework of IMS allows users to integrate different preprocessing tools, additional features, and different classifiers. By default, we use linear support vector machines as the classifier with multiple knowledge-based features. In our implementation, IMS achieves state-of-the-art results on several SensEval and SemEval tasks.

[2]: A critical porblem faced by current supervised WSD systems is the lack or manually annotated training data. Tackling this data acquisition bottleneck is crucial, in order to build high-accuracy and wide-coverage WSD systems. In this paper, we show that the approach of automatically gathering training examples from parallel texts is scalable to a large set of nouns. We conducted evaluation on the nouns of SENSEVAL-2 English all-words task, using fine-grained sense scoring. Our evaluation shows that training on examples gathered from 680MB of parallel texts achieves accuracy comparable to the best system of SENSEVAL-2 English all-words task, and significantly outperforms the baseline of always choosing sense 1 of WordNet.

[3]: In this paper, we present a new approach for word sense disambiguation (WSD) using an exemplar-based learning algorithm. This approach integrates a diverse set of knowledge sources to disambiguate word sense, including part of speech of neighboring words, morphological form, the unordered set of surrounding words, local collocations, and verb-object syntactic relation. We tested our WSD program, named LEXAS, on both a common data set used in previous work, as well as on a large sense-tagged corpus that we separately constructed. LEXAS achieves a higher accuracy on the common data set, and performs better than the most frequent heuristic on the highly ambiguous words in the large corpus tagged with the refined senses of WORDNET.

[4]: A semantic concordance is a textual corpus and a lexicon so combined that every substantive word in the text is linked to its appropriate sense in the lexicon. Thus it can be viewed either as a corpus in which words have been tagged syntactically and semantically, or as a lexicon in which example sentences can be found for many definitions. A semantic concordance is being constructed to use in studies of sense resolution in context (semantic disambiguation). The Brown Corpus is the text and WordNet is the lexicon. Semantic tags (pointers to WordNet synsets) are inserted in the text manually using an interface, ConText, that was designed to facilitate the task. Another interface supports searches of the tagged text. Some practical uses for semantic concordances am proposed.
A popular supervised WSD system, which has shown good performances in different WSD tasks, is (IMS) [1] . It takes as input a text and for each content word (noun, verb, adjective, or adverb) outputs a list of possible senses ranked according to the likelihood of appearing in a determined context and extracted from a knowledge base. The training data used by this system are derived from SemCor [4] , DSO [3] and collected automatically exploiting parallel corpora [2] . Its default classifier is LIBLINEAR http: liblinear.bwaldvogel.de with a linear kernel and its default parameters.
