• Title: Enhancing Modern Supervised Word Sense Disambiguation Models by Semantic Lexical Resources
• Authors: Stefano Melacci and Achille Globo and Leonardo Rigutini
• Abstract summary: Supervised models for Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) currently yield to state-of-the-art results in the most popular benchmarks. We enhance "modern" supervised WSD models exploiting two popular SLRs: WordNet and WordNet Domains. We study the effect of different types of semantic features, investigating their interaction with local contexts encoded by means of mixtures of Word Embeddings or Recurrent Neural Networks.

• Abstract: Supervised models for Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) currently yield to state-of-the-art results in the most popular benchmarks. Despite the recent introduction of Word Embeddings and Recurrent Neural Networks to design powerful context-related features, the interest in improving WSD models using Semantic Lexical Resources (SLRs) is mostly restricted to knowledge-based approaches. In this paper, we enhance "modern" supervised WSD models exploiting two popular SLRs: WordNet and WordNet Domains. We propose an effective way to introduce semantic features into the classifiers, and we consider using the SLR structure to augment the training data. We study the effect of different types of semantic features, investigating their interaction with local contexts encoded by means of mixtures of Word Embeddings or Recurrent Neural Networks, and we extend the proposed model into a novel multi-layer architecture for WSD. A detailed experimental comparison in the recent Unified Evaluation Framework (Raganato et al., 2017) shows that the proposed approach leads to supervised models that compare favourably with the state-of-the art.

  This paper presents a comparative study on the contextualization power of neural network-based embedding systems. We evaluate their contextualization power using two sample Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) tasks, SensEval-2 and SensEval-3. Experimental results show that the proposed techniques also achieve superior results over the current state-of-the-art on both the WSD tasks.
