Mark Stevenson gives invited talk at RANLP

Dr. Mark Stevenson has been invited to give a keynote talk at one of the major conferences on natural language processing, Recent Advances in Natural Language Processing (RANLP), 7th-13th September in Hissar, Bulgaria.

Mark will talk about his work on Word Sense Disambiguation for the biomedical domain. He will introduce some of the lexical ambiguities that are found in biomedical documents, such as polysemous terms and abbreviations with multiple expansions. Various methods for resolving these ambiguities will be introduced including supervised and unsupervised approaches. The talk will also describe how these approaches are applied to create Word Sense Disambiguation systems that can be applied on the large scale to disambiguate all ambiguous terms in biomedical documents.
