Command-line tools

To disambiguate a sentence, run this command on the terminal:

python3 -m lelesk wsd "I go to the bank to get money."

To perform word-sense disambiguation on a text file, prepare a text file with each line is a sentence.

For example here is the content of the file demo.txt

I go to the bank to withdraw money.
I sat at the river bank.

you then can run the following command

# output to TTL/JSON (a single file)
python3 -m lelesk file demo.txt demo_wsd_output.json --ttl json

# output to TTL/TSV (multiple TSV files)
python3 -m lelesk file demo.txt demo_wsd_output.json --ttl tsv
