Duluth : Word Sense Induction Applied to Web Page Clustering

The Duluth systems that participated in task 11 of SemEval‐2013 carried out word sense induction (WSI) in order to cluster Web search results. They relied on an approach that represented Web snippets using second‐order co‐ occurrences. These systems were all implemented using SenseClusters, a freely available open source software package.
