Comaparable corpus

The dictionary we use is a bilingual word by word Persian-English. It contains 83505 Persian entries with their transaltions.

Test data and Goldtext

For each ambiguous word 200 text samples(paragraphs or simple sentences) are extracted from Persian articles of Wikipedia 2016. Then the ambiguous words were tagged with their sense manaully.

You can download test data for 4 words:

Also there are some related data for disambiguating Persain words including extracted sentences with annotated ambiguous words from Hamshahri corpus provided by E. Ansari and H.Mousavi.

After preproccessing Hamshahri corpus, sentences containing 8 ambiguous Persian words are extracted then stopwords are removed and all senetnces are saved in xml files according their intended ambigous words

Results

We changed word2vec model parameters during experiments, 3 main parameters were manipulated and others remained withot changing(default values were remained) for each assignment of these parameters a configuration is obtained, totally we considered 8 configurations as follows:

d:The number of dimensions in which words are mapped.
w:Windows size (n words before plus n words after target word).
m:min_count (The words with frequency less than this threshod are removed from model dictionary).
