This paper revisits the one sense per collocation hypothesis using fine-grained sense distinctions and two different corpora. We show that the hypothesis is weaker for fine-grained sense distinctions (70% vs. 99% reported earlier on 2-way ambiguities). We also show that one sense per collocation does hold across corpora, but that collocations vary from one corpus to the other, following genre and topic variations. This explains the low results when performing word sense disambiguation across corpora. In fact, we demonstrate that when two independent corpora share a related genre/topic, the word sense disambiguation results would be better. Future work on word sense disambiguation will have to take into account genre and topic as important parameters on their models.
