Abstract

We present a preliminary study on unsu-pervised preposition sense disambiguation (PSD), comparing different models and training techniques (EM, MAP-EM with L0 norm, Bayesian inference using Gibbs sampling). To our knowledge, this is the first attempt at un-supervised preposition sense disambiguation. Our best accuracy reaches 56%, a significant improvement (at p
