Try to Substitute: An Unsupervised Chinese Word Sense Disambiguation Method Based on HowNet (2020.coling-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing unsupervised methods for word sense disambiguation cannot work for HowNet-based WSD because of its uniqueness. |
| Approach: | They propose a method which exploits the masked language model task of pre-trained language models to conduct word sense disambiguation using a lexical knowledge base as the sense inventory. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method achieves significantly better performance than baseline methods. |
