You are given a corpus with several sentences containing the terms: tennis star, number, and set. You want to statistically disambiguate the word 'set'. The context terms you want to work with are tennis star and number. Use the corpus below to create a model and apply it to the following sentence. Use the lemmata, not the word forms for counting. The number of serves the tennis star has had during this set is unbelievable. Decide whether 'set' in this sentence denotes the quantitative concept or the tennis game unit. Training Sentences

Final answer:

Using the context terms 'tennis star' and 'number' from a corpus to disambiguate 'set,' it appears that 'set' in the given sentence likely refers to the tennis game unit rather than the quantitative concept, based on the term 'serves.'

Step-by-step explanation:

The task is to statistically disambiguate the word 'set' using context terms from a corpus. The application of this model is aimed at understanding whether 'set' refers to the quantitative concept or the tennis game unit in the sentence 'The number of serves the tennis star has had during this set is unbelievable.' By analyzing the given corpus and focusing on the context terms ('tennis star', 'number'), we note that 'set' is more related to tennis when accompanied by 'tennis star' and leans toward a quantitative meaning with the term 'number.' However, the example sentence integrates both context terms, making the task more complex.

Given the information that quantitative data often start with phrases like 'the number of,' and considering that the example sentence includes 'the number of serves,' we might lean toward the quantitative interpretation. However, 'set' in 'this set' is directly influenced by the term 'serves,' a tennis term, indicating the 'set' is more likely to be referencing the unit within a tennis match. Hence, in this specific case, 'set' denotes the tennis game unit and not the quantitative concept.
