Abstract

Keyphrases are mainly words that capture the main topics of a document. We think that semantic classes can be used as keyphrases for a text. We have developed a semantic class–based WSD system that can tag the words of a text with their semantic class. A method is developed to compare the semantic classes of the words of a text with the correct ones based on statistical measures. We find that the evaluation of semantic classes considered as keyphrases is very close to 100% in most cases.
