Title
Unsupervised word sense induction using rival penalized competitive learning
Abstract
Word sense induction (WSI) aims to automatically identify different senses of an ambiguous word from its contexts. It is a nontrivial task to perform WSI in natural language processing because word sense ambiguity is pervasive in linguistic expressions. In this paper, we construct multi-granularity semantic spaces to learn the representations of ambiguous instances, in order to capture richer semantic knowledge during context modeling. In particular, we not only consider the semantic space of words, but the semantic space of word clusters and topics as well. Moreover, to circumvent the difficulty of selecting the number of word senses, we adapt a rival penalized competitive learning method to determine the number of word senses automatically via gradually repelling the redundant sense clusters. We validate the effectiveness of our method on several public WSI datasets and the results show that our method is able to improve the quality of WSI over several competitive baselines.
