Word Sense Disambiguation (Center for the Study of Language and Information - Lecture Notes)

The word "bat" can denote an animal, a sports apparatus, the blink of an eye, or more. While humans can select the appropriate meanings when hearing such words, Internet keyword searches and machine translations demonstrate that computers all too often fail at the process of Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD). This book provides an overview of the field, descriptions of novel research, accounts of previous approaches and methodologies, and an evaluation of a practical computer system that has been found to produce accurate disambiguation decisions in English.Mark Stevenson is the author of 'Word Sense Disambiguation (Center for the Study of Language and Information - Lecture Notes)', published 2002 under ISBN 9781575863900 and ISBN 1575863901.
