Combination methods are an effective way of improving system performance. This paper examines the benefits of system combination for unsupervised WSD. We investigate several voting- and arbiterbased combination strategies over a diverse pool of unsupervised WSD systems. Our combination methods rely on predominant senses which are derived automatically from raw text. Experiments using the SemCor and Senseval-3 data sets demonstrate that our ensembles yield significantly better results when compared with state-of-the-art. .
