A State of the Art of Word Sense Induction: A Way Towards Word Sense Disambiguation for Under-Resourced Languages

Understand

Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD), the process of automatically identifying the meaning of a polysemous word in a sentence, is a fundamental task in Natural Language Processing (NLP).

• Progress in this approach to WSD opens up many promising developments in the field of NLP and its applications.
• Indeed, improvement over current performance levels could allow us to take a first step towards natural language understanding.
• Due to the lack of lexical resources it is sometimes difficult to perform WSD for under-resourced languages.
