Effective Approach for Disambiguating Chinese Polyphonic Ambiguity

Abstract:-One of the difficult tasks on Natural Language Processing (NLP) is to resolve the sense ambiguity of characters or words on text, such as polyphones, homonymy, and homograph. The paper addresses the ambiguity issue of Chinese character polyphones and disambiguity approach for such issues. Three methods, dictionary matching, language models and voting scheme, are used to disambiguate the prediction of polyphones. Compared with the well-known MS Word 2007 and language models (LMs), our approach is superior to these two methods for the issue. The final precision rate is enhanced up to 92.75%. Based on the proposed approaches, we have constructed the e-learning system in which several related functions of Chinese transliteration are integrated
