| Abstract | This paper presents a word sense disambiguation (WSD) approach based onsyntactic and logical representations. The objective here is to run a number ofexperiments to compare standard contexts (word windows, sentence windows) withcontexts provided by a dependency parser (syntactic context) and a logicalanalyzer (logico-semantic context). The approach presented here relies on adependency grammar for the syntactic representations. We also use a patternknowledge base over the syntactic dependencies to extract flat predicativelogical representations. These representations (syntactic and logical) are thenused to build context vectors that are exploited in the WSD process. Variousstate-of-the-art algorithms including Simplified Lesk, Banerjee and Pedersenand frequency of co-occurrences are tested with these syntactic and logicalcontexts. Preliminary results show that defining context vectors based on thesefeatures may improve WSD by comparison with classical word and sentence contextwindows. However, future experiments are needed to provide more evidence overthese issues. |
