摘要:In this paper we introduce the novel task of
¡°word epoch disambiguation,¡± defined as the
problem of identifying changes in word usage
over time. Through experiments run using
word usage examples collected from three
major periods of time (1800, 1900, 2000), we
show that the task is feasible, and significant
differences can be observed between occurrences
of words in different periods of time.
