Abstract :
This paper presents a method of syntactic and semantic structure disambiguation for Chinese. The method finds the most plausible interpretation of a phrase or a sentence in Chinese by evaluation of the similarity between the structure and examples in related word entries in a knowledge base, Hownet. First we put forward the general idea of the method and briefly introduce its semantic knowledge resource-the Hownet Dictionary. The main algorithm of the method is then proposed with detail. The experimental result shows that the method is effective
