Abstract

Previous work in Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD), like many tasks in natural language processing, has been predominantly focused on English. While there has been some work on other languages, including Uralic languages, up until this point no work has been published providing a contrastive evaluation of WSD for Finnish, despite the requisite lexical resources, most notably FinnWord-Net, having long been in place. This work rectifies the situation. It gives results for systems representing the major approaches to WSD, including some of the systems which have performed best at the task for English. It is hoped these results can act as a baseline for future systems, including both multilingual systems and systems specifically targeting Finnish, as well as point to directions for other Uralic languages.
