| Modeling consensus: Classifier combination for word sense disambiguation (2002) | |||||||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||||||
| This paper demonstrates the substantial empirical success of classifier combination for the word sense disambiguation task. It investigates more than 10 classifier combination methods, including second order classifier stacking, over 6 major structurally different base classifiers (enhanced Nave Bayes, cosine, Bayes Ratio, decision lists, transformationbased learning and maximum variance boosted mixture models). The paper also includes in-depth performance analysis sensitive to properties of the feature space and component classifiers. When evaluated on the standard SENSEVAL1 and 2 data sets on 4 languages (English, Spanish, Basque, and Swedish), classifier combination performance exceeds the best published results on these data sets. | |||||||||||||||
