A word sense detection (WSD) algorithm is a multi-class shallow semantic NLP algorithm that can be implemented by a WSD system to solve a WSD task.
- Context:
- It can range from being a Heuristic WSD Algorithm to being a Data-Driven WSD Algorithm (such as a supervised WSD algorithm or an unsupervised WSD algorithm).
- It can be supported by a Tokenization Algorithm.
- It can iterate through each Word Mention.
- It can be applied by a Word Sense Disambiguation System.
- It can make use of a Lexical Semantic Similarity Function.
- It can make use of the Word Mention Context Window around the Word Mention.

We present Enhanced WSD Integrating Synset Embeddings and Relations (EWISER), a neural supervised architecture that is able to tap into this wealth of knowledge by embedding information from the LKB graph within the neural architecture, and to exploit pretrained synset embeddings, enabling the network to predict synsets that are not in the training set. As a result, we set a new state of the art on almost all the evaluation settings considered, also breaking through, for the first time, the 80% ceiling on the concatenation of all the standard all-words English WSD evaluation benchmarks. ...

- ABSTRACT: In this paper, we evaluate a variety of knowledge sources and supervised learning algorithms for word sense disambiguation on SENSEVAL-2 and SENSEVAL-1 data. Our knowledge sources include the part-of-speech of neighboring words, single words in the surrounding context, local collocations, and syntactic relations. The learning algorithms evaluated include Support Vector Machines (SVM), Naive Bayes, AdaBoost, and decision tree algorithms. We present empirical results showing the relative contribution of the component knowledge sources and the different learning algorithms. In particular, using all of these knowledge sources and SVM (i.e., a single learning algorithm) achieves accuracy higher than the best official scores on both SENSEVAL-2 and SENSEVAL-1 test data.
