Word Sense Disambiguation

142 papers with code • 15 benchmarks • 15 datasets

The task of Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) consists of associating words in context with their most suitable entry in a pre-defined sense inventory. The de-facto sense inventory for English in WSD is WordNet. For example, given the word “mouse” and the following sentence:

“A mouse consists of an object held in one's hand, with one or more buttons.”

we would assign “mouse” with its electronic device sense (the 4th sense in the WordNet sense inventory).

Driving Context into Text-to-Text Privatization

no code yet • 2 Jun 2023

\textit{Metric Differential Privacy} enables text-to-text privatization by adding calibrated noise to the vector of a word derived from an embedding space and projecting this noisy vector back to a discrete vocabulary using a nearest neighbor search.

Translate to Disambiguate: Zero-shot Multilingual Word Sense Disambiguation with Pretrained Language Models

To better understand this contrast, we present a new study investigating how well PLMs capture cross-lingual word sense with Contextual Word-Level Translation (C-WLT), an extension of word-level translation that prompts the model to translate a given word in context.
