We refer to this measure as DSlesk as defined: where g 1 is the gloss of word sense s1, g 2 is the gloss of s2, again s1 is the target word sense ws i in equation 1 for which we are obtaining the predominance ranking score and s2 is whichever sense of the neighbour (n j ) in equation 1 which maximises this semantic similarity score, as McCarthy et al.
we believe that our gloss-based similarity DSlesk might be very suitable for this task and we plan to investigate the possibility.
