Abstract

A computational lexicon is the backbone of any language processing system. It helps computers to understand the language complexity as a human does by inculcating words and their semantic associations. Manually constructed famous Hindi WordNet (HWN) consists of various classical semantic relations (crisp relations). To handle uncertainty and represent Hindi WordNet more semantically, Type- 1 fuzzy graphs are applied to relations of Hindi WordNet. But uncertainty in the crisp membership degree is not considered in Type 1 fuzzy set (T1FS). Also collecting billions (5,55,69,51,753 relations in HWN) of membership values from experts (humans) is not feasible. This paper applied the concept of Interval-Valued Fuzzy graphs and proposed Interval- Valued Fuzzy Hindi WordNet (IVFHWN). IVFHWN automatically identifies Interval- Valued Fuzzy relations between words and their degree of membership using word embeddings and lexico-syntactic patterns. The experimental results for the word sense disambiguation problem show better outcomes when IVFHWN is being used in place of Type 1 Fuzzy Hindi WordNet and classical Hindi WordNet.
