 Research Topic: Description
The purpose of word sense disambiguation (WSD) is to determine the exact sense of an instance of an ambiguous word according to its particular use.
Disambiguation can be useful in principle in any linguistic application where word sense matters such as automatic translation, text categorization, speech understanding, etc.
Word sense disambiguation techniques can be divided into three broad categories: supervised techniques, dictionary-based (or thesaurus-based) and unsupervised techniques.

 RFC 2070 (rfc2070) - Internationalization of the Hypertext Markup Language
As this is rather easy to implement, and as the lack of any visible quotes may affect the perceived meaning of the text, user-agent implementors are strongly requested to provide at least this minimal level of support.
The left-to-right and right-to-left marks (andlrm; and andrlm;) are used to disambiguate directionality of neutral characters.
For example, when a double quote sits between an Arabic and a Latin letter, its direction is ambiguous; if a directional mark is added on one side such that the quotation mark is surrounded by characters of only one directionality, the ambiguity is removed.
