Abstract

In this paper an approach for word sense disambiguation in documents is presented. For Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD), the local and related context for an ambiguous word is extracted, such context is used for retrieve second order vectors from WordNet. Thus two graphs are built at the same time and evaluated individually, finally both results are combined to automatically assign the correct sense for the ambiguous word. The proposed approach was tested on the task #17 of the SemEval 2010 international competition producing promising results compared to other approaches.
