Abstract

We present a pilot study of word-sense annotation using multiple annotators, relatively polysemous words, and a heterogenous corpus. Annotators selected senses for words in context, using an annotation interface that presented WordNet senses. Interannotator agreement (IA) results show that annotators agree well or not, depending primarily on the individual words and their general usage properties. Our focus is on identifying systematic differences across words and annotators that can account for IA variation. We identify three lexical use factors: semantic specificity of the context, sense concreteness, and similarity of senses. We discuss systematic differences in sense selection across annotators, and present the use of association rules to mine the data for systematic differences across annotators.
