Abstract:
An approach to the word sense disambiguation (WSD) relaying on
the WordNet synsets is proposed. The method uses semantically tagged glosses
to perform a process similar to the spreading activation in semantic network,
creating ranking of the most probable meanings for word annotation. Preliminary
evaluation shows quite promising results. Comparison with the state-of-theart
WSD methods indicates that the use of WordNet relations and semantically
tagged glosses should enhance accuracy of word disambiguation methods.
