Word Sense Disambiguation in the domain of Sentiment Analysis through Deep Learning
… (Navigli, 2009). Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) is a problem that deals with identifying the correct sense of ambiguous words in a sentence. As such, various words can have multiple meanings depending on the context in which they are used. Although advances in deep learning continue to rise …

Quantification of climate change impacts on urban catchment hydrology and water sensitive design devices
… In urban catchments, Water Sensitive Design (WSD) devices are proposed as a potential measure to mitigate the climate change impacts. Nevertheless, the performance assessment of WSD devices under climate change in a complex urban catchment hydrology can be a challenging task. Many studies have …

A Minimally Supervised Word Sense Disambiguation Algorithm Using Syntactic Dependencies and Semantic Generalizations
… is a task known as word sense disambiguation (WSD), which is essential for many natural language processing applications such as machine translation, information retrieval, and others. While most current WSD methods try to disambiguate a small number of words for which enough annotated examples …

Cross-Lingual Word Sense Disambiguation for Low-Resource Hybrid Machine Translation
… that cross-lingual word sense disambiguation (CL-WSD) can be used to improve lexical selection for machine translation when translating from a resource- rich language into an under-resourced one, especially when relatively little bitext is avail- able. In CL-WSD, we perform word sense …
