Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing sense embeddings fail to embed sense knowledge in semantic networks. |
| Approach: | They propose a Synset Relation-Enhanced Framework that leverages sense relations for sense embedding enhancement and a try-again mechanism that implements WSD again. |
| Outcome: | The proposed system outperforms knowledge-based systems with 20% SemCor data on all-words and lexical datasets. |

With More Contexts Comes Better Performance: Contextualized Sense Embeddings for All-Round Word Sense Disambiguation (2020.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Contextualized word embeddings have been used effectively across several tasks in Natural Language Processing, but it is difficult to link them to structured sources of knowledge. |
| Approach: | They propose a semi-supervised approach to producing sense embeddings for the lexical meanings within a lexicon that is comparable to that of contextualized word vectors. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach outperforms state-of-the-art models in the English Word Sense Disambiguation task and in the multilingual one while training on sense-annotated data in English only. |
