Abstract
In today's digital world language technology has gained importance. Several
softwares, have been developed and are available in the field of computational
linguistics. Such tools play a crucial role in making classical language texts
easily accessible. Some Indian philosophical schools have contributed towards
various techniques of verbal cognition to analyze sentences correctly. These
theories can be used to build computational tools for word sense disambiguation
(WSD). In the absence of WSD, one cannot have proper verbal cognition. These
theories considered the concept of 'Yogyat\=a' (congruity or compatibility) as
the indispensable cause of verbal cognition. In this work, we come up with some
insights on the basis of these theories to create a tool that will capture
Yogyat\=a of words. We describe the problem of ambiguity in a text and present
a method to resolve it computationally with the help of Yogyat\=a. Here, only
two major schools i.e. Ny\=aya and Vy\=akarana are considered. Our paper
attempts to show the implication of the creation of our tool in this area.
Also, our tool involves the creation of an 'ontological tag-set' as well as
strategies to mark up the lexicon. The introductory description of ablation is
also covered in this paper. Such strategies and some case studies shall form
the core of our paper.
