Abstract
This paper describes the evaluation of a WSD method withinSENSEVAL. This method is based on Semantic Classification Trees (SCTs)and short context dependencies between nouns and verbs. The trainingprocedure creates a binary tree for each word to be disambiguated. SCTsare easy to implement and yield some promising results. The integrationof linguistic knowledge could lead to substantial improvement.
