Abstract
We present a system for for computer-aided WSD mark-up of texts in Spanish. The system is is based on Anaya dictionary, uses a Spanish morphological analyzer and a WSD method based on Lesk algorithm (along with the other standard strategies). This tool reduces time and effort for preparation WSD-marked corpora in Spanish. We also discuss the requirement for such type of systems, which our particular system satisfies only partially.
Work done under partial support of Mexican Government (CONACyT, SNI), IPN, Mexico (CGEPI, COFAA, PIFI), and RITOS-2.
