ABSTRACT
This article describes the results of a systematic in-depth study of the criteria used for word sense disambiguation. Our study is based on 60 target words: 20 nouns, 20 adjectives and 20 verbs. Our results are not always in line with some practices in the field. For example, we show that omitting non-content words decreases performance and that bigrams yield better results than unigrams.

An unsupervised method for word sense disambiguation
AbstractWord sense disambiguation (WSD) finds the actual meaning of a word according to its context. This paper presents a novel WSD method to find the correct sense of a word present in a sentence. The proposed method uses both the WordNet ...
Unsupervised Word-Sense Disambiguation Using Bilingual Comparable Corpora
An unsupervised method for word-sense disambiguation using bilingual comparable corpora was developed. First, it extracts word associations, i.e., statistically significant pairs of associated words, from the corpus of each language. Then, it aligns ...
A Sense Annotated Corpus for All-Words Urdu Word Sense Disambiguation
Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) aims to automatically predict the correct sense of a word used in a given context. All human languages exhibit word sense ambiguity, and resolving this ambiguity can be difficult. Standard benchmark resources are required ...
