 BioMed Central | Full text | Machine learning and word sense disambiguation in the biomedical domain: design and ...
Word sense disambiguation (WSD) is critical in the biomedical domain for improving the precision of natural language processing (NLP), text mining, and information retrieval systems because ambiguous words negatively impact accurate access to literature containing biomolecular entities, such as genes, proteins, cells, diseases, and other important entities.
However, Schuemie [12] analyzed 3,902 biomedical full-text articles and found that only 30% of the gene symbols in the abstracts were accompanied by their corresponding full names, and only 18% of the gene symbols in the full text were accompanied by their gene names.
Podowski [28] built a two-step classification system to disambiguate gene symbols: the first classifier determined whether the word was a gene versus a non-gene, and the other determined the appropriate gene for a symbol classified as a gene by the first classifier.

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.

 USA - Uncyclopedia
The USA is bent on freeing the rest of the world by introducing "Democracy" (by force) so that their people can make free decisions (selling the USA all their oil for a mediocre price) and live in 'free doom' or just plain civil war(reference:Iraq).
Realising that this (the USA) was a horrendous mistake in the offing, they upped ships and legged it out before they were found out by the rest of the world as being the progenitors of the USA (aka Disneyland).
USA is also known as the Self-righteous asshole of the world.

 cars - United States   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The United States of America — also referred to as the United States, the U.S.A., the U.S., America¹, the States, or (archaically) Columbia — is a federal republic of 50 states located primarily in central North America (with the exception of two states: Alaska and Hawaii).
After the end of the second World War and the later collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States emerged as the world's leading economic and military superpower.
As a result of the huge influence, both political and cultural, and the use of the same over time, reactions towards the USA are often strong, ranging from uninhibited Americophilia (admiration and mimicking of all things 'American') to Anti-Americanism.
