Abstract

This paper describes a graph-based unsupervised system for induction and classification. The system performs a two stage graph based clustering where a cooccurrence graph is first clustered to compute similarities against contexts. The context similarity matrix is pruned and the resulting associated graph is clustered again by means of a random-walk type algorithm. The system relies on a set of parameters that have been tuned to fit the corpus data. The system has participated in tasks 2 and 13 of the SemEval-2007 competition, on word sense induction and Web people search, respectively, with mixed results.
