Biocrawler talk:UK Wikipedians' notice board/Archive 3 - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) Major name clashes (the many Newcastles, for instance) have a disambiguation page on the city name and, unless there is an existing common disambiguation (Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, etc) the convention seems to be either Name, Province (Newcastle, Northern Ireland) or Name, County (Boston, Lincolnshire while Boston redirects to the far more famous Boston, Massachusetts.. I think perhaps the UK Regions should be used instead of the UK template and British dependencies would probably suffice for both the Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies. While it could be said that Scotland is a region of the UK, it is more accurate to think of Scotland as a constituent country of the UK containing one region. www.biocrawler.com /encyclopedia/Biocrawler_talk:UK_Wikipedians'_notice_board/Archive_3   (4963 words)

[No title] Developers of commercial MT systems often do not have sufficient resources to properly disambiguate such words, partly because they rarely occur in corpora that are used for the development and testing of MT systems, and partly because it is difficult to distinguish these problems from other types of issues in MT development. Therefore the requirement of proper word sense disambiguation of statistically significant words is central to usability of MT output corpora for IE tasks. High quality word sense disambiguation for large vocabulary systems is a complex task, which requires interaction of different knowledge sources and where "best results are to be obtained from optimisation of a combination of types of lexical knowledge" (Stevenson and Wilks, 2001). www.comp.leeds.ac.uk /bogdan/_data/CL03-bha12pt-v20.doc   (3497 words)

United Kingdom on GlobalGuide.Org The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (usually shortened to United Kingdom or UK) is a country situated off the north-western coast of continental Europe, and is surrounded by the North Sea, the English Channel, the Celtic Sea, the Irish Sea, and the Atlantic Ocean. These terms are not accurate; only three of the UK’s four constituent parts are located on the island of Great Britain, so use of its name for the country as a whole excludes Northern Ireland; use of "England" excludes three of the four parts. Due to the lack of an adjective form for "UK," the adjective "British" is more widely accepted than the noun "Britain"; but some in Northern Ireland likewise take offence at this corner-cutting and it is usually possible, thanks to a flexibility of the English language, simply to use the noun "UK" as an adjective. www.globalguide.org /?id=444   (3791 words)

Synonymy and Contextual Disambiguation of Words Disambiguation is the process of determining that intended meaning. After the elimination of unclassified words, each of the remaining words can potentially be used as the context parameter; or some of the keywords may be more significant than others; or a combination of some of the words may jointly prescribe the context parameter. The sentences were chosen from examples cited in the literature on disambiguation and suggestions from colleagues. www.cs.nott.ac.uk /~ceilidh/papers/Disamb.html   (7158 words)

Wikitravel talk:Disambiguation pages - Wikitravel Petersburg, one of the places being disambiguated is much better known and it feels stupid to have to write St.Petersburg every time I want to link to the bigger of the two. It means the 99% of people seeking information about London UK have to read a bunch of text that doesn't contain that information at the top of the article. In these cases, a disambiguation page is only needed where the ambiguous name also refers to other places that are geographically separate from the city/region pair. wikitravel.org /en/Wikitravel_talk:Disambiguation_pages   (2247 words)

ACLWorkshop   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) 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. www.cs.bham.ac.uk /~amw/ACLWorkshop.html   (855 words)

Knöferle, Crocker, Scheepers, Pickering: The interaction of mental representations from linguistic and visual ... We report four studies using eye-movements in visual scenes to investigate role-assignment and structural disambiguation through actions depicting role-relations between agents and patients in agent-action-patient events in initially structurally ambiguous spoken sentences. In Experiment 1, shortly after the verb and before disambiguation by NP2 case marking, we observed anticipatory inspections to the patient for SVO, and to the agent for OVS sentences. Our findings suggest that depicted actions are used for rapid disambiguation of local structural and role ambiguity which verb knowledge alone could not have disambiguated. amlap.psy.gla.ac.uk /programme/node9.html   (415 words)

Диалог. Дайджест - Journal of Computer Speech and Language   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) The process of automatically determining the meanings of words, word Sense disambiguation (WSD), is an important stage in language understanding. This is in contrast to the majority of early approaches which relied on hand-crafted disambiguation rules. This special issue of Computer Speech and Language, due for publication in 2004, is intended to describe the current state of the art in word sense disambiguation. www.dialog-21.ru /full_digest.asp?digest_id=22234   (440 words)

Jamboree 2002: Learning Domain Theories (Stephen Pulman) We use domain theories to carry out disambiguation in natural language processing by characterising some interpretations of a sentence as unlikely or impossible. Building domain theories by hand is impractical except for tiny domains: we describe a method of automatically inducing such theories from disambiguated corpora using a combination of statistical and inductive logic programming techniques. The talk briefly describes earlier work with the ATIS corpus, using the resulting theory for syntactic disambiguation, and in more detail, work in progress with the Penn Treebank aimed at reference resolution. www.inf.ed.ac.uk /events/jamboree/2002/Pulman.html   (160 words)

LINGUIST List 2.719: Word Senses The Kelly and Stone is pioneer work on computational disambiguation, although it focuses on part-of-speech disambiguation rather than determining the sense given that the word has more than one meaning with the same part of speech.

Research Students This is a list of research students supervised by Professor Harold Somers, with information about their research. In a first experiment, we wanted to see if the simulation was able to choose the correct interpretation of Malay homographs: on the assumption that neighbouring words will be semantically closer to the correct meaning, we translate them into English using an on-line dictionary and then compare them using a number of WordNet-based distance measures.
