We are happy to announce the release of WordNet-SenseRelate-AllWords version 0.05. This version features a number of significant changes, perhaps the most important of which is a new definition of windowing that is more flexible than that used in version 0.04 and earlier.
You can download from: http://search.cpan.org/dist/WordNet-SenseRelate-AllWords/ or http://sourceforge.net/projects/senserelate In previous versions the option --window N meant "N WordNet words to the left and N words to the right." This means that you would always try to have an equal number of words on either side of the word being disambiguated. The new --window option is more flexible in that it specifies the total size of the window (including the word being disambiguated). So, you can specify --window 2, which now means 1 word to the right and the word being disambiguated. --window 3 means 1 word to the left, 1 word to the right, and the word to be disambiguated. So, when the value of --window is odd, you have a balanced number of words on either side (as we did in previous versions). What is new now is that if you have an even number of words, you have 1 more word to the left of the word to be disambiguated than you do to the right. In our experience, --window 2 (new formulation) often works quite well (this means assigning a sense to a word by considering its relatedness to one word to the left, that is prior to it). So that might be a good starting point for experiments. There are other changes as well, including some renaming and improved documentation for our utilities that convert SemCor-formattted data into a form that our program wsd.pl can process (semcor-reformat.pl), and that produce output files suitable for scoring by the Senseval scoring program scorer2 (scorer2-format.pl). Please let us know if you have any questions! Enjoy, Ted and Jason -- Ted Pedersen http://www.d.umn.edu/~tpederse ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> DonorsChoose.
