Building a ranking based reverse dictionary

Kesavaram.P.H, T.Muthamilselvan

A traditional forward dictionary is where the user inputs a word and gets one or more definitions as output. Whereas, in a reverse dictionary the user enters the desired phrase with a logic and gets a certain number of words as outputs similar to the concept of the user input phrase. The user entered phrase need not necessarily be the same as in the definition, therefore we implement in such a way that the concept of the user input will be analyzed and corresponding words will be obtained as the result. The output results will be ranked according to the perfect similarity of the word to the input phrase to the least possible similarity of the search concept.
