Abstract
- In this paper, we present a bootstrapping algorithm for Word Sense Disambiguation which succeeds in disambiguating a subset of the words in the input text with very high precision. It uses WordNet and a semantic tagged corpus, for the purpose of identifying the correct sense of the words in a given text. The bootstrapping process initializes a set of ambiguous words with all the nouns and verbs in the text. It then applies various disambiguation procedures and builds a set of disambiguated words: new words are sense tagged based on their relation to the already disambiguated words, and then added to the set. This process allows us to identify, in the original text, a set of words which can be disambiguated with high precision; 55% of the verbs and nouns are disambiguated with an accuracy of 92%.
