It was found that this algorithm achieved only around 50% correct disambiguation when compared with manual judgment, however, retrieval performance using the senses it returned was 90% of that recorded using manually disambiguated queries.
Word sense disambiguation is a core problem in many tasks related to language processing.
In this paper, we introduce the notion of {\em soft word sense disambiguation} which states that given a word, the sense disambiguation system should not commit to a particular sense, but rather, to a set of senses which are not necessarily orthogonal or mutually exclusive.

 ACLWorkshop   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
The problem of word-sense disambiguation is currently one of the central concerns of natural language processing.
The list approach is compatible with WordNet approaches, but puts the approach in conflict with that of the generative lexicon, and so the question is raised as to how much structure is needed in the lexicon in order to cope with figurative language.
We therefore have three different approaches to the lexicon and the problems that figurative language poses for word-sense disambiguation, and the major theme of this workshop is to explore means for tackling these problems, particularly means that could be used in practical NLP applications.
