    I would appreciate it if anyone could point me to any recent (2004 or
    later) results bearing on the usefulness of word sense disambiguation
    (WSD) for end-user applications (such as machine translation or
    question answering, and excluding WSD in support of NLP-internal tasks
    such as parsing, semantic role labeling, learning selectional
    preferences, etc.). For purposes of this query, WSD means
    automatically assigning labels from a pre-existing sense inventory to
    terms in input text (either with or without probabilities or
    confidence values).

    Carpuat and Wu's ACL-2005 paper is a nice example of the sort of thing
    I'm looking for. Although a positive result would be even nicer. :-)

    Please reply privately and I will summarize to the list if there's
    interest.
