Primes

• Context
  • implicature, presupposition, and politeness are all context-relative, and word-sense disambiguation in NLP is the engineering form of the same problem.

    This sourceSurveys the computational task of selecting a word's sense from context, the engineering form of context-dependence.

• Polysemy
  • Word-sense disambiguation (NLP): Systems must operationalize the polysemy/homonymy distinction at scale, selecting the contextually appropriate sense for downstream processing

Domain-specific

• Word-sense disambiguation
  • Word-sense disambiguation is the task of identifying which predefined lexical sense of a target word is intended in a particular context; when senses are induced rather than selected from an inventory, the neighboring task is word-sense discrimination or induction.
