  • Abstract

    We propose three approaches for disambiguating the Kannada word based on an adaptation of dictionary-based Lesk’s word sense disambiguation technique. Instead of making use of the regular dictionary as the repository of glosses, we used Indo – WordNet lexical database as the source of senses.  Here we adopt a current method of measuring semantic relatedness between the concepts of the Kannada words taken from Indo – WordNet. This measure is dependent on identifying and counting the number of common words present between the glosses of a pair of concepts in accordance with Indo – WordNet.
