Recently, the Web has become the focus for many word sense disambiguation (WSD) systems. Due to the limited amount of sense tagged data available for supervised approaches, systems which are typically referred to as unsupervised, have turned to the use of unannotated corpora including the Web. The advantage of these sy...

State-of-the-art abstractive summarization systems can generate fluent summaries with high automatic evaluation scores in terms of ROUGE (Lin, 2004) . However, recent studies have shown that these systems are prone to hallucinate content that is not supported by the source document (Maynez et al., 2020; Kang and Hashim...
