Word Sense Disambiguation

Word sense disambiguation (WSD) is the natural-language-processing task of choosing the correct meaning of a polysemous word from its context. Surveyed by Navigli (2009), it resolves which sense of a many-meaning word applies in a given sentence, improving the quality of information retrieval, machine translation, and question answering.
