Supervised Word Sense Disambiguation

Supervised WSD seeks to learn classifiers that can assign senses to words in text using machine learning techniques. These classifiers are trained on manually sense tagged corpora. In general these classifiers are most suitable for lexical sample or target word disambiguation, where all the occurrences of a given word in a text is assigned a sense.

We have developed a number of different packages for supervised word sense disambiguation. Each of these has somewhat different capabilities.
