Existing relatedness methods do not consider its sense while computing semantic relatedness score between two sentences. In this study, a Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) method is proposed which is used in finding the sense-oriented sentence semantic relatedness measure. The WSD method is used to find the correct sense of a word present in a sentence. The proposed method uses both the WordNet lexical dictionary and the Wikipedia corpus. The sense-oriented sentence semantic relatedness measure combines edge-based score between words depending the context of the sentence; sense based score which finds sentences having similar senses; as well as word order score. We have evaluated the proposed WSD method on publicly available English WSD corpora. We have compared our proposed sense-oriented sentence semantic relatedness measure on standard datasets. Experimental analysis illustrates the significance of proposed method over many baseline and current systems like Lesk, UKB, IMS, Babelfy.
