Abstract
The topic of a document can prove to be useful information for word sense disambiguation since certain meanings tend to be associated with particular topics. I will discuss three techniques which improve all existing WSD algorithms we tested by establishing a sense per (Latent Dirichlet allocation based) topic, and do not require any modification to the underlying algorithm to yield a performance increase. The evaluation of three unsupervised and one supervised algorithms is carried out on the sport and finance domains.
Joint work with Mark Stevenson.
