Abstract:

The fault of blindness exists in traditional Chinese word sense disambiguation methods which are based on primitive co-occurrence data. Based on the d epiction for the concept of Hownet, the authors calculate these relation- moduluses between the first unattached primitive, the other unattached primiti ve, the relation primitive, the sign primitive of each sense of a multivocal word and that of character-words. Finally, the sense of the muhivocal word is chosen by comparing these relation- moduluses between each sense of the muhivocal word and character-words. The experimental results show that the ac curacy of word sense disambiguation of the method is higher.

Key words: primitive, relation-modulus, word sense disambiguation
