UKB is an open source collection of programs for performing, among other tasks, knowledge-based Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD).Since it was released in 2009 it has been often used out-of-thebox in sub-optimal settings.We show that nine years later it is the state-of-the-art on knowledge-based WSD.This case shows the pitfalls of releasing open source NLP software without optimal default settings and precise reproducibility instructions.
