 WORD SENSE DISAMBIGUATION   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The aim in supervised disambiguation is to build a classifier which correctly classifies new cases based on their context of use.
The basic inference in thesaurus-based disambiguation is that semantic categories of the words in a context determine the semantic category of that context as a whole.
Disambiguation is done by computing the semantic similarity between words and applying the heuristic rules based on this similarity.

 Volcano - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
A volcano is a geological landform (usually a mountain) where magma (rock of the Earth's interior made molten or liquid by extremely high temperatures along with a reduction in pressure and/or the introduction of water or other volatiles) erupts through the surface of the planet.
Stratovolcanoes or composite volcanoes are tall conical mountains composed of both lava flows and ejected material, which form the strata which give rise to the name.
Some volcanoes consist of a crater alone, with scarcely any mountain at all; but in the majority of cases the crater is situated on top of a mountain (the volcano), which can tower to an enormous height.

 The Mountain
At the opening of the National Convention the ''Montagnard'' group comprised men of very diverse shades of opinion, and such cohesion as it subsequently acquired was due rather to the opposition of its leaders to the Girondist leaders than to any fundamental hostility between the two groups.
The chief point of distinction was that the Girondists were mainly theorists and thinkers, whereas the Mountain consisted almost entirely of uncompromising men of action.
The group was to become one of the prime movers in the eventual downfall of Robespierre in the events of 9 Thermidor.

 Until recently, most NLP research has been focused on the understanding of a larger text
the word plant is disambiguated to refer to a factory by the surrounding words (corporation, business, expenses, manufacturing, factory, etc.) which all point to the current domain of a manufacturing plant.
This sentence, when appearing alone, should be disambiguated to refer to a factory, but the appearance of large and Adirondack Mountain Region may carry more weight than company in the currently used methods.
The same techniques used here to allow disambiguation to be applied to small collocations of words should also be more broadly applicable to other areas of word sense disambiguation where the current methods fail due to a lack of domain-dependence exhibited by the target word.

Krovetz and Croft (1992) showed that  sense disambiguation does not result in as  much improvement in the top ranked documents, when we have moderate  length queries and documents.
We believe that the kind of sense disambiguation we need for retrieval  is different from  the general sense disambiguation task as studied in many previous  work in Natural Language Processing (Yarowsky, 1992; McRoy, 1992; Ng and Lee, 1996).
There are two underlying assumptions of traditional sense disambiguation: fixed number of senses per word, and one sense per occurrence.
