Geospatial phrase grounding and disambiguation
… match mid level structure patterns, expressing disambiguation heuristics in ontologies, and improving scalability by separating grounding from reasoning about relationships.

Polymeter: disambiguation, classification, and analytical techniques
This dissertation defines musical polymeter in relation to a theory of meter as a hierarchical structure. It also disambiguates polymeter from related concepts and defines a complete classification of polymetric possibilities using a thorough, analytical approach. The system accommodates both …

Word sense disambiguation through lattice learning
The question of how a computer reading a text can go from a word to its meaning is an open and difficult one. The WordNet[3] lexical database uses a system of nested supersets to allow programs to be specific as to what meaning of a word they are using, but a system that picks the correct meaning …

Image sense disambiguation : a multimodal approach
If a picture is worth a thousand words, can a thousand words be worth a training image? Most successful object recognition algorithms require manually annotated images of objects to be collected for training. The amount of human effort required to collect training data has limited most approaches …

Word sense disambiguation in clinical text
… pervasive in language of all domains. Word sense disambiguation (WSD) and word sense induction (WSI) are the tasks of resolving this ambiguity. Applications in the clinical and biomedical domain focus on the potential disambiguation has for information extraction. Most approaches to the problem …

Compile -Time Memory Disambiguation for C Programs
… improves the feasibility of static memory disambiguation. The proposed algorithm can handle much larger C programs with realistic language features. Due to its modular feature, the amounts of time and memory requirements are greatly reduced. The dissertation also evaluates the effectiveness …

The implementation of a disambiguation marching cubes algorithm
… problem of the algorithm. A simple and elegant disambiguation algorithm is then described and implemented. Finally, generated data from mathematical functions and real world data from scientific experiment are used to test the original marching cubes algorithm and the disambiguation …

Memory disambiguation to facilitate instruction-level parallelism compilation
… dependences, optimizing compilers perform memory disambiguation.

Neural network architectures for Prepositional Phrase attachment disambiguation
… problem of Prepositional Phrase (PP) attachment disambiguation, a key challenge in syntactic parsing. In natural language sentences, a PP may often be attached to several possible candidates. While humans can usually identify the correct candidate successfully, syntactic parsers are known to have …

Machine learning and task disambiguation in hand-picked agriculture
Although GPS-based travel data has been studied by many mainly for automated travel mode detection, the area of activity mode detection during harvest still remains an open technical challenge. This thesis proposes and tests a pattern recognition approach to harvest mode recognition from GPS travel …

Privacy Policy-Based Framework for Privacy Disambiguation in Distributed Systems
… approach to achieving user privacy and privacy disambiguation through the development of a privacy button concept.

Semantics and result disambiguation for keyword search on tree data
Keyword search is a popular technique for searching tree-structured data (e.g., XML, JSON) on the web because it frees the user from learning a complex query language and the structure of the data sources. However, the convenience of keyword search comes with drawbacks. The imprecision of the …

Cross-Lingual Word Sense Disambiguation for Low-Resource Hybrid Machine Translation
This thesis argues 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 …

Metacognitive development and the disambiguation effect in monolingual and bilingual children
… was to extend previous research to examine the disambiguation effect, children’s tendency to select an unfamiliar object in the presence of another but familiar object as referent for a novel word. Theoretical considerations suggest this effect initially results from a lack of understanding …

Evaluating automated and hybrid neural disambiguation for African historical named entities
… may be alleviated by using a Named Entity Disambiguation (NED) system to disambiguate names by linking them to a knowledge base. In recent years, transformer-based language models have led to improvements in NED systems. Furthermore, multilingual language models have shown the ability to …
