Experiments on the validation of sense annotations assisted by lexical chains
Roberto Navigli · IRIS Research product catalog (Sapienza University of Rome) · 2006
It is widely recognized that the annotation of texts with senses from a computational lexicon is a complex and often subjective task. We propose the use of lexical chains, specifically semantic interconnections, to support validators in the difficult task of assessing the quality of sense assignments. We provide a two-fold experimental evaluation of our approach applied to the validation of manual annotations from the SemCor corpus, and we further assess the method on automatic annotations from the English all-words Senseval 3 competition.
