Word Sense Disambiguation for Indic Language using Bi-LSTM

In the enormous field of Natural Language Processing (NLP), deciphering the intended significance of a word among a multitude of possibilities is referred to as word sense disambiguation. This process is essential for accurately understanding the refinements of language within a specific context. The various collection of government services supports the everyday lives of Indian citizens. Some of the initiatives that are available for use are the National e-Governance Plan, UMANG, Bharat Bill Payment System, e-Panchayat, police clearance, and e-Sign. However, the effectiveness of these services depends on NLP tasks that are customized for Indian languages, requiring skilled management of linguistic uncertainties. Hindi and its equivalents lack the linguistic resources that are abundant in English, Mandarin, Spanish, French, and Russian. To tackle this challenge, this article introduces a fresh approach to resolving the ambiguity of Hindi words. By combining the capabilities of word embedding Word2Vec or FastText with the Bi-Directional LSTM neural network, it carefully analyzes Hindi sentences to determine the most contextually appropriate meaning. The effectiveness of this approach is highlighted by the remarkable F1 score of 70.03% achieved in experimental findings. This significant improvement over previous models confirms the effectiveness of the proposed methodology in addressing the intrinsic language ambiguities found in Indic languages.
