Personalizing PageRank for word sense disambiguation

Eneko Agirre, Aitor Soroa · 2009

In this paper we propose a new graph-based method that uses the knowledge in a LKB (based on WordNet) in order to perform unsupervised Word Sense Disambiguation. Our algorithm uses the full graph of the LKB efficiently, performing better than previous approaches in English all-words datasets. We also show that the algorithm can be easily ported to other languages with good results, with the only requirement of having a wordnet. In addition, we make an analysis of the performance of the algorithm, showing that it is efficient and that it could be tuned to be faster.
