Word Sense Induction

19 papers with code • 1 benchmarks • 1 datasets

Word sense induction (WSI) is widely known as the “unsupervised version” of WSD. The problem states as: Given a target word (e.g., “cold”) and a collection of sentences (e.g., “I caught a cold”, “The weather is cold”) that use the word, cluster the sentences according to their different senses/meanings. We do not need to know the sense/meaning of each cluster, but sentences inside a cluster should have used the target words with the same sense.

Recently proposed Skip-gram model is a powerful method for learning high-dimensional word representations that capture rich semantic relationships between words.

A Simple Approach to Learn Polysemous Word Embeddings

Evaluating these methods is also problematic, as rigorous quantitative evaluations in this space is limited, especially when compared with single-sense embeddings.

Towards better substitution-based word sense induction

Word sense induction (WSI) is the task of unsupervised clustering of word usages within a sentence to distinguish senses.

Automated WordNet Construction Using Word Embeddings

mkhodak/pawn WS 2017

To evaluate our method we construct two 600-word testsets for word-to-synset matching in French and Russian using native speakers and evaluate the performance of our method along with several other recent approaches.
