  abstract = {Blog users enjoy tagging for better document organization, while ambiguity in tags leads to inaccuracy in tag-based applications, such as retrieval, visualization or trend discovery. The dynamic nature of tag meanings makes current word sense disambiguation(WSD) methods not applicable. In this paper, we propose an unsupervised method for disambiguating tags in blogs. We first cluster the tags by their context words using Spectral Clustering. Then we compare a tag with these clusters to find the most suitable meaning. We use Normalized Google Distance to measure word similarity, which can be computed by querying search engines, thus reflects the up-to-date meaning of words. No human labeling efforts or dictionary needed in our method. Evaluation using crawled blog data showed a promising micro average precision of 0.842.},
