Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for disambiguating word sense. One of the methods includes maintaining a respective word sense numeric representation of each of a plurality of word senses of a particular word; receiving a request to determine the word sense of the particular word when included in a particular text sequence, the particular text sequence comprising one or more context words and the particular word; determining a context numeric representation of the context words in the particular text sequence; and selecting a word sense of the plurality of word senses having a word sense numeric representation that is closest to the context numeric representation as the word sense of the particular word when included in the particular text sequence.

Determining word senses using neural networks

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for identifying one or more second documents related to one or more first documents. Strength of relationship scores between candidate documents in a group of candidate documents and each first document are determined by aggregating user selection data for users, the user selection data indicating, for each user, whether the user viewed the candidate document during a window of time after the first document is presented to the user on a search results web page in response to a query. An aggregate strength of relationship score is calculated for each candidate document from the strength of relationship scores for the candidate document. Second documents are selected from the candidate documents according to the aggregate strength of relationship scores for the candidate documents.
