Data for the paper "Disambiguate Words like Composing Them: A Morphology-Informed Approach to Enhance Chinese Word Sense Disambiguation" in ACL 2024

General description

Our resources of Chinese WSD include two lexico-semantic inventories: morpheme inventory (MorInv) and word inventory (WrdInv), a Chinese WSD dataset (Morphology-informed Chinese Lexical Sample dataset, MiCLS), and an out-of-vocabulary (OOV) test set. These constitute the largest and publicly available Chinese WSD resource so far as we know.

Note that we include monosemous words in MiCLS, which can largely benefit OOV sense representations and disambiguation. Some words unambiguous in dictionaries may have other OOV senses in real corpora, making them actually ambiguous. In Chinese, these issues are quite common.

Considering the demands of research, the data for our resources originates from the authoritative Chinese Contemporary Dictionary (CCD). To respect intellectual property rights and to better cater to computational applications, we have condensed the relevant semantic space to some extent, as well as largely revised and optimized the morpheme definitions and word definitions.

Here we have open-sourced a subset of this resource, encompassing 7,930 commonly used morphemes from the most frequently used 3,000 characters in Chinese. This includes:

• 7,930 entries from MorInv, covering 7,930 morphemes for 3,000 characters;
• 20,492 entries from WrdInv, covering 20,492 senses for 15,000 words;
• 80,089 entries from MiCLS, covering 18,832 senses for 15,000 words;
• Full dataset of the OOV test set, which contains 173 entries, covering 148 OOV senses for 147 words.

As a result, the experimental results in the paper may be slightly affected during replication.

The file structure is as follows:

• MorInv.txt: Data for the morpheme inventory
• WrdInv.txt: Data for the word inventory
• train.tsv: the training set of MiCLS
• val.tsv: the validation set of MiCLS
• test.tsv: the test set of MiCLS
• OOV.tsv: the OOV test set

Data format

MorInv The file MorInv.txt contains entries in MorInv. The columns are separated by a space. The format and example of the data are shown in the table:

Column	Description	Example
0	Morpheme ID	月_1_07_03
1	Morpheme	月
2	PoS	名
3	Morpheme sense	月亮

WrdInv The file WrdInv.txt contains entries in WrdInv. The columns are separated by a space. The format and example of the data are shown in the table:

Column	Description	Example
0	Word ID	满月_0201
1	Word	满月
2	PoS	名
3	Word sense	圆月

MiCLS The files train.tsv, val.tsv and test.tsv contain the entries in MiCLS. The format and example of the data are shown in the table:

Column	Description	Example
0	Word	满月
1	Context	夜，静极了，玉盘似的#满月#在云中穿行，淡淡的月光洒向大地。
2	Definition	圆月
3	Formation	定中
4	Morpheme 1	整个
5	Morpheme 2	月亮
6	label	1

OOV test set The file OOV.txt contains entries in the OOV test set. The format and example of the data are shown in the table:

Column	Description	Example
0	Word	千万
1	Context	如今，顺德全区综合营收超～的设计企业达8家。
