Hi Pete,

I think a direct comparison with Naive Bayes will be difficult, since Naive
Bayes is most often used as a supervised model, whereas SenseClusters is
unsupervised. SenseClusters doesn't allow for training of the same sort as
done by Naive Bayes, so again a direct comparison would be difficult.
SenseClusters is really intended for use cases where there is not
pre-existing gold standard available, and so it is perhaps more of a sense
discrimination or sense induction tool, whereas Naive Bayes is more a word
sense disambiguation method.

I hope this makes some sense. I think there are still interesting
comparisons that could be done, although I am not sure if they are in line
with what you hope to do. I am happy to discuss further though, if that
seems like it would be helpful.

Cordially,
Ted
