Abstract
This paper describes a sense tagging technique for the automatic sense tagging of running Chinese text. The system takes as input running Chinese text, and outputs sense disambiguated text. Whereas previous work ((Yarowsky, 1992; Gale et al., 1992; Gale et al., 1993)) relies heavily on the role of statistics, the present system makes use of Machine Readable/Tractable Dictionaries ((Wilks et al., 1990; Guo, 1995)) and an example-based reasoning technique ((Nagao, 1984; Sumita et al., 1990); to treat novel words, compound words, and phrases found in the input text.
