We propose to build on our recent work on large-scale WSD, which currently produces the best results world-wide for all-word text WSD, and claim that WSD is a precondition for a proper computation treatment of lexical tuning: how to create and tune a lexicon to a corpus. What we propose has three aspects:1. A novel approach to creating mappings between lexical resources thus allowing the different knowledge sources they contain to be shared and facilitate more rapid adaptation using them.2. A novel method for clustering the sense sets for individual words in e.g. LDOCE, a process that may well result in a partitioning of the senses, different from that in the original lexicon.3. A novel method for adapting a general lexical resource to corpus so as to reflect the lexical information in a specific sub-domain. This will allow the rapid creation of domain-specific lexical knowledge of the domain for processing.The key notion here is that tuned lexical novelty will then be a product of two phenomena: the reclustered but existing sense inventory for each word and the domain corpus distribution.
