Abstract

This paper is an outcome of ongoing research and presents an unsupervised method for automatic word sense induction (WSI) and disambiguation (WSD). The induction algorithm is based on modeling the cooccurrences of two or more words using hypergraphs. WSI takes place by detecting high-density components in the cooccurrence hypergraphs. WSD assigns to each induced cluster a score equal to the sum of weights of its hyperedges found in the local context of the target word. Our system participates in SemEval-2007 word sense induction and discrimination task.
