An Iterative Approach for Unsupervised Most Frequent Sense Detection using WordNet and Word Embeddings

GWC 2018  ·  Kevin Patel, Pushpak Bhattacharyya ·

Given a word, what is the most frequent sense in which it occurs in a given corpus? Most Frequent Sense (MFS) is a strong baseline for unsupervised word sense disambiguation. If we have large amounts of sense-annotated corpora, MFS can be trivially created. However, sense-annotated corpora are a rarity. In this paper, we propose a method which can compute MFS from raw corpora. Our approach iteratively exploits the semantic congruity among related words in corpus. Our method performs better compared to another similar work.
