Abstract

In computational linguistics, the problem of word-sense disambiguation (WSD) is a difficult one and methods using a flat topology of the tokens are not very effective. One solution to this is to use a Part of Speech (POS) tagger before starting the WSD process. However, POS taggers show their limitations when high precision tagging is required or large texts are processed. This paper presents a technique to reduce the POS ambiguity using semantic information. As benchmarks we use as following standard WSD corpuses: Senseval2, Senseval3 and Semcor. Moreover, we tested our approach on WordNet semantically tagged glosses for English and on our own semantically tagged lexicon glosses for Romanian language.
