ABOUT THIS BOOK

This is the first book to cover the entire topic of word sense
disambiguation (WSD) including: all the major algorithms, techniques,
performance measures, results, philosophical issues, and
applications. Leading researchers in the field have contributed
chapters that synthesize and provide an overview of past and
state-of-the-art research across the field. The editors have carefully
organized the chapters into sub-topics. Researchers and lecturers will
learn about the full range of what has been done and where the field
is headed. Developers will learn which technique(s) will apply to
their particular application, how to build and evaluate systems, and
what performance to expect. An accompanying Website provides links to
resources for WSD and a searchable index of the book.
