Disambiguation


Disambiguation is an operation that tries to resolve word sense ambiguity cases, particularly the ones ascribed to homographs, that is words with the same graphic form but different meanings.

T-LAB implements a specific Word Disambiguation option; moreover during the importation phase the software recognizes and distinguishes three kinds of linguistic objects:

- proper nouns;
- multiwords (compound words and idioms);
- compound tenses of verbs.

In any case, T-LAB uses lists in its database which have been built and tested to limit the most frequent cases of ambiguity (effectiveness criterion) and to moderate processing times (efficiency criterion).
