Moreover, the improved disambiguation was good enough to encourage us to implement a service that enables retrieval of the web by ``word sense'' rather than just keywords.
Interestingly, the result shows that a disambiguator may operate beneath the performance of a baseline algorithm, and still be useful for retrieval.
To illustrate our planned street-finding capability, we have hand-crafted a sequence of SQL queries that were run against the database tables to generate essential vector data that were then translated into Postscript and rendered using existing pbmplus graphics tools to produce a GIF raster file for viewing.

Although IGTree was designed for a specific class of problems --linguistic disambiguation problems with symbolic (nominal) features, huge case bases, and a complex interaction between (sub)regularities and exceptions-- we show in this paper that the approach has a wider applicability when generalising it to TRIBL, a hybrid combination of IGTree and IBL.
In this paper we show that a large-scale application of the memory-based approach is feasible: we obtain a tagging accuracy that is on a par with that of known statistical approaches, and with attractive space and time complexity properties when using IGTree, a tree-based formalism for indexing and searching huge case bases.
The consequences of the approach for computational lexicology are discussed, and the application of the approach to a number of lexical acquisition and disambiguation tasks in phonology, morphology and syntax is described.

 A study of techniques for selecting and positioning objects in immersive VEs   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
With the virtual pointer metaphor, the user selects and manipulates objects by pointing at them: when the vector emanating from the virtual pointer intersects with an object, it can be picked and manipulated [3].
The major design aspects distinguishing techniques based on this metaphor are definition of virtual pointer direction, shape of the pointer (selection volume), and methods of disambiguating the object the user wants to select.
In the simplest case, the direction of the virtual pointer is defined by the orientation of the user's virtual hand, the virtual pointer is a "laser ray," and no disambiguation is provided [24] (Figure 2).

 USENIX - Security '02 - Work-in-Progress Reports (WiPs)
We explore another approach, \emph{Active Mapping}, which works by building profiles of the network topology and the TCP/IP policies of hosts on the network by sending specially crafted packets to each host.
The NIDS then uses the analysis results to disambiguate the interpretation of the network traffic on a per-host basis.
Thus, a major advantage of Active Mapping is that it does not require any interception or modification of the traffic stream.

 Ontologies Come of Age
Seventh, taxonomies may be used to sense disambiguation support.
For example, if an ontology contains the information that Jordan is an instance of a Basketball-player and also an instance of a country, an application may choose to query a user searching for Jordan if she is interested in basketball-players or countries.
  For example, if one did a search for concerts in the San Francisco Bay area and got too many answers, a search engine might look up concert in an ontology and discover that there are subclasses of concert (and it may also discover that there are specific concert locations in the Bay area).

 Bakhtin, Genre Theory and Theoretical Comparative Literature: Chron
Within their theoretical framework, action schemata are defined as follows: "The main function of schemata is to enable understanders to form expectations about what is likely to happen next, either in the real world, or in the world of a text.
This does not only contribute to the disambiguation of references and of figurative expressions, but also to the readers' ability to infer what they do not witness directly, or what is not explicitly mentioned in a text" (Semino 172).
Elena Semino is very convincing in her analysis of literary texts by developing a reading method that strives to link textual triggers to memory schemata.

In the second part of this paper, we present two new sparse analysis algorithms using the heap array representation; one identifies redundant loads, and the other identifies dead stores.
Using strong typing to help disambiguation, these algorithms are more efficient than equivalent analyses for weakly typed languages.

Compiler elimination of run time tests for null pointers and out of bound indices is harder if arrays can be jagged, or can change shape at run time.
More significantly, disambiguation is hard: even if two 2D arrays are not identical, they may still share a row.

Choosing the winner of a tennis match cannot be done by appealing to simple type heuristics, because relevant source sentences often contain the names of both the winner and the loser so that the correct answer must be selected from items of the same type.
Finally, in sports reporting of this kind, there are often multiple cues, many of which are indirect, that allow the disambiguation of key facts, like who the winner of a match was.
Then 377 questions of the form "Who won the match between X and Y? X" were created.

The difficulties and expense of searching for links (information overload, disambiguation of similarly-named entities, multiple textual expressions of the same idea) means that a new page is seldom threaded into this context.
