Cross-lingual generalization of WiC and WSD findings

Determine whether the observed relationships among Word-in-Context, Word Sense Disambiguation, and WiC-through-WSD, including the effects of explicit sense granularity and model performance patterns, hold in multilingual settings where sense boundaries may differ across languages.

Background

The study evaluates English lexical ambiguity and compares standard WiC, WSD with explicit candidate senses, and WiC-through-WSD. The authors note that multilingual settings may behave differently because semantic distinctions and sense boundaries are not necessarily preserved across languages or translations. Establishing whether the reported patterns generalize beyond English is therefore left unresolved.
