Abstract

Word Sense Disambiguation refers to the task of correctly identifying the sense of an ambiguous word in a given context. This is considered as an AI-complete problem in the field of natural language processing. In this paper, an LDA-based WSD model is proposed which, to the best of our knowledge, is the first work that makes use of LDA for disambiguation in Malayalam. We had selected three ambiguous words and manually collected sentences including those from different novels, short stories, and web documents. The corpus consists of more than 200 instances of each ambiguous word. The model performed well compared to the state-of-the-art WSD systems in Malayalam.
