Lexical Database

Lexical databases are structured repositories of word meanings and related linguistic information, aiming to facilitate natural language processing and cross-lingual understanding. Current research focuses on improving word sense disambiguation (WSD) using techniques like bidirectional transformers (e.g., BERT) and Bayesian inference, particularly for languages beyond English, and incorporating visual and contextual information to enhance accuracy. These advancements are crucial for improving machine translation, information retrieval, and other applications requiring nuanced understanding of word meaning across diverse languages and contexts.
