Its application lies in many different areas including sentiment analysis, Information Retrieval (IR), machine translation and knowledge graph construction. Solutions to WSD are mostly categorized into supervised and knowledge-based approaches. In this paper, a knowledge-based method is proposed, modeling the problem with semantic space and semantic path hidden behind a given sentence. The approach relies on the well-known Knowledge Base (KB) named WordNet and models the semantic space and semantic path by Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) and PageRank respectively. Experiments has proven the method’s effectiveness, achieving state-of-the-art performance in several WSD datasets.","url_abs":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0950705119304344?via%3Dihub","url_pdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0950705119304344?via%3Dihub","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"information-retrieval","task_name":"Information Retrieval"},{"task_slug":"machine-translation","task_name":"Machine Translation"},{"task_slug":"retrieval","task_name":"Retrieval"},{"task_slug":"sentence","task_name":"Sentence"},{"task_slug":"sentiment-analysis","task_name":"Sentiment Analysis"},{"task_slug":"translation","task_name":"Translation"},{"task_slug":"word-sense-disambiguation","task_name":"Word Sense Disambiguation"},{"task_slug":"graph-construction","task_name":"graph construction"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[{"leaderboard":"/sota/word-sense-disambiguation-on-knowledge-based","task":"Word Sense Disambiguation","dataset":"Knowledge-based:","model":"KEF","rank_in_archive_order":1,"of":6,"metrics":{"All":"68.0","SemEval 2007":"56.9","SemEval 2013":"68.4","SemEval 2015":"72.3","Senseval 2":"69.6","Senseval 3":"66.1"},"uses_additional_data":false}],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
