Abstract

In this paper we propose an hybrid system of Arabic words ‎disambiguation. To achieve this goal we use the methods ‎employed in the domain of information retrieval: Latent ‎semantic analysis, Harman, Croft, Okapi, combined to the lesk ‎algorithm. These methods are used to estimate the most relevant ‎sense of the ambiguous word. This estimation is based on the ‎calculation of the proximity between the current context ‎‎(Context of the ambiguous word), and the different contexts of ‎use of each meaning of the word. The Lesk algorithm is used to ‎assign the correct sense of those proposed by the LSA, ‎Harman, Croft and Okapi. The results found by the proposed ‎system are satisfactory, we obtained a rate of disambiguation ‎equal to 76%. ‎
