Abstract

In this paper we are going to detail an unsupervised, graph-based approach for word sense discrimination on tweets. We deal with this problem by constructing a word graph of co-occurrences. By defining a distance on this graph, we obtain a word metric space, on which we can apply an aggregative algorithm for word clustering. As a result, we will get word clusters representing contexts that discriminate the possible senses of a term. We present some experimental results both on a data set consisting of tweets we collected and on the data set of task 14 at SemEval-2010.
