WHAT DOES DISAMBIGUATION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Word-sense disambiguation

In computational linguistics, word-sense disambiguation is an open problem of natural language processing and ontology, which governs the process of identifying which sense of a word is used in a sentence, when the word has multiple meanings. The solution to this problem impacts other computer-related writing, such as discourse, improving relevance of search engines, anaphora resolution, coherence, inference et cetera. Research has progressed steadily to a point where WSD systems achieve sufficiently high levels of accuracy on a variety of word types and ambiguities. A rich variety of techniques have been researched, from dictionary-based methods that use the knowledge encoded in lexical resources, to supervised machine learning methods in which a classifier is trained for each distinct word on a corpus of manually sense-annotated examples, to completely unsupervised methods that cluster occurrences of words, thereby inducing word senses. Among these, supervised learning approaches have been the most successful algorithms to date. Current accuracy is difficult to state without a host of caveats.

Definition of disambiguation in the English dictionary

The definition of disambiguation in the dictionary is the act of making an ambiguous expression unambiguous.
