Awesome work on word sense disambiguation in general

Awesome-Word-Sense-Disambiguation

This repo collects AWESOME papers/books/blogs/lectures/codes about word sense disambiguation (WSD) and the phenomenon of linguistic ambiguity. This includes not only the narrow area of WSD in an engineering view but more general coverage of ambiguity in linguistics, e.g., structural/lexical ambiguity, polysemy, metaphor&metonymy, semantic changes, coreference resolution, entity linking, uncertainty, and so on. I hope such broad coverage helps us explore the topic extensively and thoroughly.

If you have any ideas for improvements, please send a message on the corresponding discussion or issues.

You may also send an email to us (liuzhu22@mails.tsinghua.edu.cn) with "[Awesome Word Sense Disambiguation]" as the subject (tell us where it was published, and send us a GitHub link and arxiv link if they are available).
