[Corpora-List] Seeking new results on WSD in applications

[Philip Resnik]

I would appreciate it if anyone could point me to any recent (2004 or
later) results bearing on the usefulness of word sense disambiguation
(WSD) for end-user applications (such as machine translation or
question answering, and excluding WSD in support of NLP-internal tasks
such as parsing, semantic role labeling, learning selectional
preferences, etc.).  For purposes of this query, WSD means
automatically assigning labels from a pre-existing sense inventory to
terms in input text (either with or without probabilities or
confidence values).

Carpuat and Wu's ACL-2005 paper is a nice example of the sort of thing
I'm looking for.  Although a positive result would be even nicer. :-)

Please reply privately and I will summarize to the list if there's
interest.

  Philip
