Case-Sensitivity of Classifiers for WSD: Complex Systems Disambiguate Tough Words Better

2007

We present a novel method for improving disambiguation accuracy by building an optimal ensemble (OE) of systems where we predict the best available system for target word using a priori case factors (e.g. amount of training per sense). We report promising results of a series of best-system prediction tests (best prediction accuracy is 0.92) and show that complex/simple systems disambiguate tough/easy words better. The method provides the following benefits: (1) higher disambiguation accuracy for virtually any base systems (current best OE yields close to 2% accuracy gain over Senseval-3 state of the art) and (2) economical way of building more effective ensembles of all types (e.g. optimal,…
