In recent years, there has been increasing interest in applying neural networks and machine learning techniques to solve WSD problems.

"text": "In human languages, many words have multiple meanings, depending on the context in which they are used. Identifying the sense of a polysemous word within a given context is a fundamental problem in natural language processing. For example, the English word \"bank'' has different meanings as \"a commercial bank\" or \"a land along the edge of a river,'' etc. Word sense disambiguation (WSD) is the task of deciding the appropriate meaning of a target ambiguous word in its context (Navigli, 2009) .",

"text": "Among various approaches to the WSD task used over the past two decades, a supervised learning approach has been the most successful. However, it is quite expensive in both time and cost to annotate a large amount of reliable training data because supervised WSD requires a large amount of manually labeled training examples to achieve good performance. Unsupervised learning approach does not need labeled examples and uses large amount of unlabeled examples to find word clusters which discriminates the senses of the words in different clusters. Unsupervised learning algorithms are typically less accurate than supervised algorithms because examples may not be assigned the correct sense. For these reasons, we focus on a semi-supervised learning method that uses both sense-labeled and unlabeled examples in different proportions.",

Then, we construct classifiers for each polysemous word using Planetoid (Yang et al., 2016) , which is a multi-task framework for graph-based semi-supervised learning. By using the proposed method, it is possible to incorporate information obtained from unlabeled examples without assigning a sense label to unlabeled examples. Moreover, by learning graph embeddings, it is possible to distinguish between two similar examples with different sense labels to construct a better classifier for WSD. To evaluate the efficiency of the proposed WSD method, we design some experiments using the Semeval-2010 Japanese WSD task data set and the Senseval-2 English lexical sample task data set.",

"text": "In recent years, semi-supervised learning has been used in WSD tasks. Semi-supervised learning is a technique that makes use of a small number of sense-labelled examples with a large amount of unlabeled examples. (Yarowsky, 1995) proposed a bootstrapping model that only has a small set of sense-labelled examples that gradually assigns appropriate senses to unlabeled examples. (Taghipour and Ng, 2015) and (Yuan et al., 2016) proposed a semi-supervised WSD method to use word embeddings of surrounding words of the target word and showed that the performance of WSD could be increased by taking advantage of word embeddings. (Fujita et al. 2011) proposed a semi-supervised WSD method that automatically obtains reliable sense labelled examples using example sentences from the Iwanami Japanese dictionary to expand the labelled training data. Then, this method employs a maximum entropy model to construct a WSD classifier for each target word using common morphological features (surrounding words and POS tags) and topic features. Finally, the classifier for each target word predicts the sense of the test examples. They showed that this method is effective for the SemEval-2010 Japanese WSD task. (Sousa et al., 2020) proposed a graph-based semi-supervised WSD method using word embeddings and distance measures. Although this method fixes the graph structure and trains only the classification model, our method trains the classification model and the graph jointly.",

An LP graph consists of vertices of examples and edges that represent semantic similarity.

For the initialized embeddings, optimization of the loss function of class label prediction is repeated for 10,000 iterations, and optimization of the loss function of graph context prediction is repeated for 1,000 iterations. Then, Joint training of classification and graph context prediction is repeated for 1,000 iterations. The obtained model is used to classify new examples of the target word into semantic classes. Table 1 shows the results of the experiments using lexical features with various graph structures on the SemEval-2010 Japanese WSD task. The reported WSD task results in precision are averaged over three runs. As shown in Table 1 , the average precision of the proposed method is 78.11%. Statistical significance is obtained using the Student's t-test, \u2020P<0.05 in comparison to the WSD model without the graph embeddings. The proposed method obtains higher precision than the WSD model without the graph embeddings, with statistical significance. Therefore, experimental results show that the graph structure between examples is effective for WSD. However, the model with randomly connected graph obtains a lower precision than the model without graph embeddings. This shows that it is not effective for WSD to use the graph structure simply in the model, but that it is more effective to use a graph structures that takes into account the similarity between examples.",

Statistical significance is obtained using the Student's t-test, \u2020 \u2020P<0.01 in comparison to the WSD model using ELMo without the graph embeddings. In these experiments, we use the WSD models using a graph structure obtained by fine-tuning BERT. By using contextual word embeddings using ELMo as features, the average precision of the proposed WSD model is 80.93%. As a result, the proposed method outperformed the existing method in the semi-supervised learning method on the SemEval-2010 Japanese WSD task data. The average precision of the proposed method was improved by 2.7% in comparison with the model without graph embeddings so that we show that the graph structure is effective for WSD even when word embeddings are used as features. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, we compared it with a WSD model using word2vec embeddings as features. We obtain word embeddings of word2vec using nwjc2vec (Asahara, 2018) and perform experiments using the WSD model with 1000 dimensional vectors concatenated with 200-dimensional word embeddings for 5 words. Experimental results showed that the average precision of the WSD model using word2vec is 79.6%. These results show that the proposed WSD model using contextual word embeddings with ELMo is more effective than the model using word2vec. In the WSD model with word2vec, the average precision of the model with graph is 7.36% higher than that without graph. This indicates that the graph structure is also effective for the WSD method using word2vec. Table 3 shows the results of the experiments of the proposed method on the SENSEVAL-2 English lexical sample task. As shown in Table 3 , the average precision of the proposed method is 73.09%. The proposed method achieves higher precision than the existing WSD model such as (Taghipour and Ng, 2015) , (K\u00e5geb\u00e4ck and Salomonsson, 2016) . However, the average precision of the proposed method is slightly better than the model without a graph. One of the reasons for this is that the number of SemCor documents used as unlabeled examples is quite small. Therefore, it is necessary to extract enough examples of the target words by using a large corpus such as OMSTI in addition to SemCor.
