Abstract

Polysemy is one of the major causes of difficulties in semantic clustering of words in a corpus. In this paper, we first give a definition of polysemy from the viewpoint of clustering and then, based on this definition, we propose a clustering method which recognises verbal polysemies from a textual corpus. The results of experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
