Abstract
One or more words are received. A set of frequency of occurrence values of the received word(s) within a set of domain tables is determined. A domain table in the set of domain tables is associated to the received word(s), based on the set of frequency of occurrence values meeting a threshold value. A word-sense of the received word(s) is determined based on a corresponding word-sense in the associated domain table and/or corresponding domain dictionary.
Claims20
A computer implemented method for identifying word-senses, the method comprising:
- generating, using a computer, a set of domain tables comprising one or more arrays of aggregated statistical information of words, and one or more of corresponding word-senses, and temporal properties;
- receiving a word;
- determining, using the computer, a set of frequency of occurrence values of the received word within the set of domain tables;
- associating, using the computer, one or more domain tables in the set of domain tables with the received word, based on the set of frequency of occurrence values meeting a threshold value;
- and
- determining, using the computer, one or more word-senses of the received word based on one or more corresponding word-senses in the one or more associated domain tables and one or more corresponding domain dictionaries.
A computer system for identifying word-senses, the computer system comprising:
- one or more computer processors;
- one or more computer-readable storage media;
- program instructions stored on the computer-readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more processors, the program instructions comprising:
- instruction to generate a set of domain tables comprising one or more arrays of aggregated statistical information of words, and one or more of corresponding word-senses, and temporal properties;
- instructions to receive a word;
- instructions to determine a set of frequency of occurrence values of the received word within the set of domain tables;
- instructions to associate one or more domain tables in the set of domain tables with the received word, based on the set of frequency of occurrence values meeting a threshold value;
- and
- instructions to determine one or more word-senses of the received word based on one or more corresponding word-senses in the one or more associated domain tables and one or more corresponding domain dictionaries.
A computer program product for identifying word-senses, comprising a computer-readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, the program code executable by a processor of a computer to perform a method comprising:
- Generating a set of domain tables comprising one or more arrays of aggregated statistical information of words, and one or more of corresponding word-senses, and temporal properties;
- receiving a word;
- determining a set of frequency of occurrence values of the received word within the set of domain tables;
- associating one or more domain tables in the set of domain tables with the received word, based on the set of frequency of occurrence values meeting a threshold value;
- and
- determining one or more word-senses of the received word based on one or more corresponding word-senses in the one or more associated domain tables and one or more corresponding domain dictionaries.
