    Dear Klas,

    Brown et al. (92) and Ney et al. (94) present similar approaches using a
    maximum likelihood approach.
    You are familiar with Chater and Finch's work. There is also Pereira et
    al.'s work on clustering of word senses.
    I gave a paper on this topic at CoNLL '00 this year, available on-line.

    Regards,
