We also adopted their overlap scoring mechanism which treats each gloss as a bag of words and assigns an n word overlap the score of n 2 .
the work described here could be usefully employed in two tasks: (a) to create preliminary annotations, thus supporting the "annotate automatically, correct manually" methodology used to provide high volume annotation in the Penn treebank project; and (b) in combination with supervised WSD methods that take context into account; for instance, such methods could default to an unsupervised system for unseen words or words with uninformative contexts.
