</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> This paper describes the two joint component models of the Swat-HK systems entered into four of the word sense disambiguation lexical sample tasks in Senseval-3: Basque, Catalan, Italian and Romanian, as well as a combination model for each language. The feature engineering (and construction of three other component models which are described in (Wicentowski et al., 2004)) was performed at Swarthmore College, while the Hong Kong team constructed two component models based on well-known machine learning algorithms. The combination model, which was constructed at Swarthmore, uses voting to combine all five models.</Paragraph>
