Abstract

Domain-Specific Senses (DSS) acquisition has been one of the major topics in Natural Language Processing (NLP). However, most results from unsupervised learning methods are not effective. This paper addresses the problem and proposes an approach for improving performance based on deep learning. To obtain DSS, we utilize Approximate Personalized Propagation of Neural Predictions (APPNP) consisting of Graph Convolutional Networks (GCN) and PageRank. GCN is a neural network that performs on graphs to learning sense features from neighbors’ senses and using Personalized PageRank for propagation. For constructing sense features, we collect glosses from WordNet and obtained sense embedding by using Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT). Our experimental results show that the approach works well and attain at 0.614 Macro F1-score. In addition, to demonstrate the efficacy that DSS can work well in the NLP task, we apply the results on DSS to text categorization and gain a macro F1-score at 0.920, while the CNN baseline method is 0.776.
