In this paper, we present a new lineartime algorithm for lexical chaining that adopts the assumption of one sense per discourse. Our results show an improvement over previous algorithms when evaluated on a WSD task.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/245","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/0245.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/245.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/bibtex/245","volume":{"slug":"2003","title":"Proceedings of the Eighteenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 2003","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/","year":2003,"location":"Acapulco, Mexico","dates":"","editors":"Georg Gottlob","isbn":"","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":null,"track":"","number":245,"pages":{"first":1486,"last":1487},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
