Word sense disambiguation in NLTK Python

Question

Hello friends, I am new to NLTK Python and i am looking for some sample application which can do word sense disambiguation. I have got a lot of algorithms in search results but not a sample application. I just want to pass a sentence and want to know the sense of each word by referring to wordnet library. Thanks

I have found a similar module in PERL. http://marimba.d.umn.edu/allwords/allwords.html Is there such module present in NLTK Python?

Answer 1

Yes it is possible with the wordnet module in NLTK. The similarity mesures which used in the tool which mentioned in your post exists in NLTK wordnet module too.
