Challenge: Existing methods to determine the word sense have fewer word set constraints than unsupervised methods.
Approach: They propose a new word sense disambiguation method that generates the context of an ambiguous word by using similarities between an amorphous word and words in the input document.
Outcome: The proposed method outperforms the baseline method on the SemEval-13 and SemEx15 datasets and has higher performance than the state-of-the-art unsupervised knowledge-based system.

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) systems have performed well on several evaluation benchmarks, but it still struggles to find downstream applications.
Approach: They propose a task where systems have to identify which spans to disambiguate and link them to their most suitable meaning.
Outcome: The proposed task performs above the estimated inter-annotator agreement on a set of words . the proposed system is based on 'transformer-based' architectures and iteratively relaxes the assumptions .
Framing Word Sense Disambiguation as a Multi-Label Problem for Model-Agnostic Knowledge Integration (2021.eacl-main)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Recent studies treat Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) as a single-label classification problem, but gold data suggests that maximizing the probability of a singular sense is not the most suitable training objective for WSD.
Approach: They propose to use Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) as a multi-label classification problem in which multiple senses can be assigned to each target word.
Outcome: The proposed method bears closer resemblance to how human annotators disambiguate text and can be extended to exploit structured knowledge from semantic networks.
One Classifier for All Ambiguous Words: Overcoming Data Sparsity by Utilizing Sense Correlations Across Words (2020.lrec-1)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing word-specific classifiers lack the ability to generalize across words and require limited sense-annotated data for every word.
Approach: They propose to learn a single model that derives sense representations and enforces congruence between a word instance and its right sense by using both sense-annotated data and lexical resources.
Outcome: Empirical evaluation shows the proposed model outperforms classifier-based models by 1.7%, 2.5% and 3.8% in F1-score on GloVe, ELMo and BERT word embeddings respectively.
