Semantic Ambiguity

Semantic ambiguity, the existence of multiple possible meanings for a word, phrase, or sentence, is a central challenge in natural language processing (NLP). Current research focuses on leveraging multimodal information (e.g., images alongside text) and probabilistic models (like density matrices and Gaussian distributions) to improve disambiguation, particularly within machine translation and other tasks. These efforts utilize various architectures, including transformers, recurrent neural networks, and generative models, to create more robust and context-aware systems. Overcoming semantic ambiguity is crucial for advancing NLP applications, enabling more accurate and reliable information extraction, text classification, and machine translation.
