Gujarati Word Sense Disambiguation using Genetic Algorithm

Genetic algorithms (GAs) have widely been investigated to solve hard optimization problems, including the word sense disambiguation (WSD). This problem asks to determine which sense of a polysemous word is used in a given context. Several approaches have been investigated for WSD in English, French, German and some Indo-Aryan languages like Hindi, Marathi, Malayalam, etc. however, research on WSD in Guajarati Language is relatively limited. In this paper, an approach for Guajarati WSD using Genetic algorithm has been proposed which uses Knowledge based approach where Indo-Aryan WordNet for Guajarati is used as lexical database for WSD
