Natural Language Processing (NLP) is the field of study that focuses on the interactions between human language and computers. By “natural language” we mean a language that is used for everyday communication by humans. Different from programming languages, natural languages are hard to be defined with accurate rules. NLP is developing rapidly and it has been widely used in different industries. Technologies based on NLP are becoming increasingly widespread, for example, Siri or Alexa are intelligent personal assistants using NLP build in an algorithm to communicate with people. “Natural Language Processing Based Generator of Testing Instruments” is a stand-alone program that generates “plausible” multiple-choice selections by analyzing word sense disambiguation and calculating semantic similarity between two natural language entities. The core is Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD), WSD is identifying which sense of a word is used in a sentence when the word has multiple meanings. WSD is considered as an AI-hard problem. The project presents several algorithms to resolve WSD problem and compute semantic similarity, along with experimental results demonstrating their effectiveness.
