Word Sense Disambiguation

Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) is a crucial task in natural language processing aimed at associating words in context with their most appropriate senses in a predefined sense inventory. This task enhances the accuracy and depth of text understanding by determining the specific meanings of words and is widely applied in areas such as machine translation, information retrieval, and sentiment analysis. WordNet serves as an authoritative sense inventory for WSD in English, providing rich semantic resources.
