Seminar on

Word Sense Disambiguation : An Introduction


Abstract: Word sense disambiguation (WSD) is a core problem in many tasks
related to language processing. Word Sense Disambiguation is the process
of identifying which sense of a word is used in any given sentence, when
the word has a number of distinct senses. Lexical disambiguation in its
broadest definition is nothing less than determining the meaning of every
word in context, which appears to be a largely unconscious process in
people .It is often described as a computational problem whose solution
presupposes complete natural-language understanding .This area will have
application in enhancing information retrieval. This seminar will give an
overview of supervised, unsupervised, and knowledge-based approaches to
WSD.A few applications of WSD are discussed.
