The results obtained in previous works relying on semantic classes are above ours (around 0.82 for (Brill and Resnik, 1994) and 0.77 for (Lauer and Dras, 1994)), but a direct comparison is difficult inasmuch as only three-word sequences (V N P, for (Brill and Resnik, 1994) and N N N for (Lauer and Dras, 1994)) were used for evaluation in those works, and the language studied is English.
due to the possible ambiguities the French language displays (e.g.
