## Papers

1. **[Finding Predominant Word Senses in Untagged Text](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/onto-2004-mccarthy-finding-predominant-word-senses-untagged/)** *(2004)* The most-frequent (predominant) sense is a strong baseline for word sense disambiguation, but it normally needs a hand-tagged corpus such as SemCor, which is small (about 250,000 words) and fixed in genre.
2. **[Automatic Identification of Infrequent Word Senses](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/aclbulk-2004-mccarthy-automatic-identification-infrequent-word-senses/)** *(2004)* The paper ranks the senses of a word without any sense-tagged data, using a thesaurus built from raw text (a BNC thesaurus of distributional neighbours) and WordNet similarity.
3. **[Robust, applied morphological generation](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/aclbulk-2000-minnen-robust-applied-morphological-generation/)** *(2000)* Natural language generation systems often need a separate component that turns a lemma, a part of speech and an inflection type into a word form.
4. **[Corpus Annotation for Parser Evaluation](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/enud-1999-carroll-corpus-annotation-parser-evaluation/)** *(1999)* Bracket-based parser scores (PARSEVAL) are hard to compare across grammars, because the bracketing of a treebank and the output of a parser differ in ways that are not errors.
5. **[The Derivation of a Grammatically Indexed Lexicon from the Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/boguraev-1987-derivation-grammatically-indexed-lexicon-longman/)** *(1987)* The authors build a large lexicon with grammatical feature entries for a morphological and syntactic analyser (GPSG-based, from the Alvey toolkit project) by deriving it from the machine-readable Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English (LDOCE).
