This paper describes a novel, unsupervised method of word sense disambiguation that is wholly se- mantic, drawing upon a complex, rich ontology and inference engine (the Cyc system). This method goes beyond more familiar semantic closeness ap- proaches to disambiguation that rely on string co- occurrence or relative location in a taxonomy or concept map by 1) exploiting a rich array of prop- erties, including higher-order properties, not avail- able in merely taxonomic (or other first-order) sys- tems, and 2) appealing to the semantic contribution a word sense makes to the content of the target text. Experiments show that this method produces results markedly better than chance when disam- biguating word senses in a corpus of topically un- related documents. |
