Word sense disambiguation using evolutionary algorithms – Application to Arabic language

作者:

Highlights:

• Genetic and memetic algorithms are used to solve the word sense disambiguation problem.

• Applicability of these algorithms to Modern Standard Arabic is demonstrated by quantifying their potential benefits.

• Genetic algorithm outperforms memetic algorithm and naïve Bayes classifier, attaining 79% precision and 63% recall.
