Semantic based Information Retrieval System by using WSD and DICE Coefficient

Authors(3) :-Thwe, Thi Thi Tun, Ohnmar Aung

In many NLP applications such as machine translation, content analysis and information retrieval, word sense disambiguation (WSD) is an important technique. In the information retrieval (IR) system, ambiguous words are damaging effect on the precision of this system. In this situation, WSD process is useful for automatically identifying the correct meaning of an ambiguous word. Therefore, this system proposes the word sense disambiguation algorithm to increase the precision of the IR system. This system provides additional semantics as conceptually related words with the help of glosses to each keyword in the query by disambiguating their meanings. This system uses the WordNet as the lexical resource that encodes concepts of each term. In this system, various senses that are provided by WSD algorithm have been used as semantics for indexing the documents to improve performance of IR system. By using keyword and sense, this system retrieves the relevant information according to the Dice similarity method.
