  Finch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Finches are seed-eating passerine birds, the many species of which are found chiefly in the northern hemisphere, but also to a limited extent in Africa and South America.
There are many other birds in other groups which are called finches, notably the very similar-looking Estrildids or waxbills, which occur in the Old World tropics and Australia.
Some of the closely related sparrows are also named as "finches", as are some buntings.

 WORD SENSE DISAMBIGUATION SURVEY: SUMMARY OF RESPONSES
It is generally necessary to have a detailed knowledge of the word senses that are in the domain, so the knowledge to disambiguate will often be available in the domain model even where it has not explicitly been added for disambiguation purposes.
The goal is to disambiguate between the senses given > in a dictionary or thesaurus on the grounds that that, or something > similar, is necessary for full understanding (and is an interesting > problem in its own right).
I had separated the within-POS problem from the general disambiguation problem because, with the accuracy of state-of-the-art taggers (at least for grammatical standard English, and where some errors can be tolerated), POS-disambiguation is well on the way to being solved.

Word-tokens together with their POS-tags then, are sent to the disambiguator which chooses a single POS-tag according to the context.
There are two main approaches to POS-tag disambiguation, the connectionist (stochastic and neural net) approach and the rule-based approach.
But regardless of the disambiguation strategy, at the end of the tagging process the input text-string is segmented into words each of which is assigned a single POS-tag:

Lexicon acquisition from machine-readable dictionaries and corpora is currently a dynamic field of research, yet it is often not clear how lexical information so acquired can be used, or how it relates to structured meaning representations.
The analysis is based on the widely-used, but little-discussed distinction between an IE system's foreground lexicon, containing the domain's key terms which map onto the database fields of the output formalism, and the background lexicon, containing the remainder of the vocabulary.
