Abstract: Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) aims at deciphering word meaning in terms of context with the help of computers. WSD is an accessible and challenging AI-complete problem. WSD analyses word tokens and determine the exact sense of the word being used according to the context. WSD is viewed asafundamental problem in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Natural Language Processing (NLP). Our problem area involves finding the appropriate sense of a lexeme for available context and relationship between lexicons. This is done using natural language processing techniques which involve queries, NLP specific documents or output texts from Machine Translation (MT). MT automatically translates text from one native language into another. It can be performed on various natural languages like Urdu, Marathi, Punjabi, Bengali, English, and Hindi etc. The different application areas for word sense disambiguation involves SpeechProcessing, Information Retrieval (IR), lexicography, Text Processing and MTetc.With this article, we are exploring the knowledge-based technique for WSD for Hindi. This approach uses explicitly available lexical resources viz. lexicon and thesaurus. It involves incorporating word knowledge from external knowledge resources to removethe equivocalness of words. In this experiment, we tried to develop a WSD tool by considering a knowledge-based approach with WordNet of Hindi. The system uses knowledge-based LESK Algorithm for WSD for Hindi. Our proposed system gives the accuracy of about 71.4%.
