 Enhancing a biomedical information extraction system with dictionary mining and context disambiguation
To disambiguate the admissible possibilities, the standard approach is to rely on the context in which the entity appears to provide additional clues to the intended meaning [16].
In [14] the one-sense-per-discourse [20] hypothesis was applied to disambiguation, exploiting the fact that the sense of a term is highly consistent within a given document.
The locally disambiguated training instances may not be sufficient as examples for all cases.

 Asian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term "West Asia" is becoming increasingly popular since the term Middle East is a Eurocentric moniker denoting the in-between regions of Europe and East Asia.
Most of Russia's huge territory is in Asia, though the majority of its population is in Europe and ethnically "East European".
Because the Asian population is such a heterogenous one, some believe that the idea that "Asians" form a coherent cultural group is outmoded and therefore the term should be replaced by the use of separate terms for each Asian cultural or geographical group.

China (Traditional Chinese: 中國, Simplified Chinese: 中国, Pinyin: ZhōnggĂșo) is an ancient cultural and geographic entity in continental East Asia with some offshore islands which since 1949 has been divided between the People's Republic of China (governing Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau) and the Republic of China (governing Taiwan and several outlying Fujianese islands).
In the early 20th century, the institution of the Emperor of China disappeared, and China entered a period of disunion started by the Chinese Civil War.
From the Chinese point of view, the "Chinese" Empire included parts of modern far eastern Russia and Central Asia during the strongest periods of the Yuan, although China was merely one of many territories of the Mongol Empire.
