Word Sense Disambiguation : Methods and Algorithms

This paper discuss various technique of word sense disambiguation. In WSD we disambiguate the correct sense of target word present in the text. WSD is a challenging field in the natural language processing, it helps in information retrieval, information extraction, machine learning. There are two approaches for WSD machine learning approach and knowledge based approach. In Knowledge based approach a external resource is used to help in disambiguation process, but in Machine learning approach a corpus is used whether it is annotated, un-annotated or both.
