Abstract

The paper describes a supervised approach for the detection of the most frequent sense on the basis of RuThes thesaurus, which is a large linguistic ontology for Russian. Due to the large number of monosemous multiword expressions and the set of RuThes relations it is possible to calculate several context features for ambiguous words and to study their contribution in a supervised model for detecting frequent senses.
