Language models in word sense disambiguation for Polish
share
In the paper, we test two different approaches to the unsupervised word sense disambiguation task for Polish. In both methods, we use neural language models to predict words similar to those being disambiguated and, on the basis of these words, we predict the partition of word senses in different ways. In the first method, we cluster selected similar words, while in the second, we cluster vectors representing their subsets. The evaluation was carried out on texts annotated with plWordNet senses and provided a relatively good result (F1=0.68 for all ambiguous words). The results are significantly better than those obtained for the neural model-based unsupervised method proposed in <cit.> and are at the level of the supervised method presented there. The proposed method may be a way of solving word sense disambiguation problem for languages that lack sense annotated data.
