Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) is an important and challenging technique in the area of natural language processing (NLP). A particular word may have different meaning in different context. So the main task of word sense disambiguation is to determine the correct sense of a word used in a particular context. Ambiguities provide great difficulty in the use of Natural languages. Words that occur in a particular context can be interpreted in more than one way depending up on the context. Natural languages like Malayalam also have many ambiguity words to be resolved. WSD plays a major role to improve the quality of the system. Here, we put forward a survey of various methods available in word sense disambiguation (WSD) and Malayalam WSD approaches.
