Comparing Similarity Measures for Original WSD Lesk Algorithm
Sulema Torres, Alexander F. Gelbukh, Unidad Profesional, Adolfo-López Mateos, M. Othón · 2009
There are many similarity measures to determine the similarity relatedness between two words. Measures of similarity or relatedness are used in such applications as word sense disambiguation. One of the methods used to resolve WSD is the Lesk algorithm. The performance of this algorithm is connected with the similarity relatedness between all words in the text, i.e the success rate of WSD should increase as the similarity measure’s performance gets better. This paper presents a comparison of several similarity measures applied to WSD using the original Lesk Algorithm.
