Effective Approach for Disambiguating Chinese Polyphonic Ambiguity
International Journal on Signal & Image Processing, 2 (1): 7 (January 2011)
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.
