Greetings all, I wanted to mention that Varada Kolhatkar and I will be doing a demo of WordNet::SenseRelate::AllWords at NAACL (in Boulder, Colorado, coming up next week). The demos are set to take place on Monday June 1 from 6:30 to 9:30 pm at the Stadium Club. I guess we'll all find out what that is when we get there. :)
WordNet::SenseRelate::AllWords is our method of doing "all words" sense disambiguation, and it relies very heavily on information from WordNet::Similarity. This is also the topic of Varada's MS thesis, so she's particularly well positioned to answer your more probing questions. We prepared a short paper that describes AllWords for the demo program, you can see that here: WordNet::SenseRelate::AllWords - A Broad Coverage Word Sense Tagger that Maximimizes Semantic Relatedness (Pedersen and Kolhatkar) - To Appear in the Proceedings of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics - Human Language Technologies 2009 Conference, June 1-3, 2009, Boulder, CO.
