Abstract

This paper outlines a novel architecture for the development of a word sense disambiguation (WSD) system. It is based on the premiss that one way to improve the performance of such systems is through increased, and more flexible, human intervention. To this end a human-WSD program interface, WASPS1 is being developed for use by lexicographers in organising corpus data in the drawing up of new dictionary entries. A by-product of this activity will be an accurate sense disambiguation program.
