Anyone know of some good Word Sense Disambiguation software? [closed]

My list are not exhaustive but surely Googling for more will be better for your purposes.

For softwares here’s a short list, remember to CITE the relevant sources!!!

GWSD: Unsupervised Graph-based Word Sense Disambiguation
http://lit.csci.unt.edu/~rada/downloads/GWSD/GWSD.1.0.tar.gz

SenseLearner: All-Words Word Sense Disambiguation Tool
http://lit.csci.unt.edu/~rada/downloads/senselearner/SenseLearner2.0.tar.gz

KYOTO UKB graph-based WSD
http://ixa2.si.ehu.es/ukb/

pyWSD: Python Implementation of Simple WSD algorithms https://github.com/alvations/pywsd


WSD tasks are sort of also dependent of the data source so here’s a few, remember to CITE them too!!!

Open Mind Word Expert Sense Tagged Data

TWA Sense Tagged Data

SemCor

Lastly, WSD tasks are dependent on some preprocessing and if you’re looking into state-of-the-art crosslingual WSD, then you should try to look out for word level aligners like

  • MOSES
  • MGIZA++
  • GIZA++
  • BerkeleyAligner

Also, look at previous Senseval/SemEval pages to look for what has already been done, and what are the trends that future tasks are moving towards. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SemEval
