چکیده

Semantic relatedness is a special form of linguistic distance between words. Evaluating semantic relatedness measures is usually performed by comparison with human judgments. Previous test datasets had been created analytically and were limited in size. We propose a corpus-based system for automatically creating test datasets.1 Experiments with human subjects show that the resulting datasets cover all degrees of relatedness. As a result of the corpus-based approach, test datasets cover all types of lexical-semantic relations and contain domain-specific words naturally occurring in texts.

Presentation of an efficient automatic short answer grading model based on combination of pseudo relevance feedback and semantic relatedness measures

Automatic short answer grading (ASAG) is the automated process of assessing answers based on natural language using computation methods and machine learning algorithms. Development of large-scale smart education systems on one hand and the importance of assessment as a key factor in the learning process and its confronted challenges, on the other hand, have significantly increased the need for ...

Evaluating Emergent Semantics in Folksonomies on Human Intuition

Semantic relations that closely resemble the human intuition of semantic relatedness, have been extracted automatically from sources, like text corpora, Wikipedia, or folksonomies, e.g., for constructing ontologies or for enhancing website navigation. Thereby, folksonomies are especially interesting since often, rich semantic structures emerge from the annotation of resources through users. In ...

Comparing Wikipedia and German Wordnet by Evaluating Semantic Relatedness on Multiple Datasets

We evaluate semantic relatedness measures on different German datasets showing that their performance depends on: (i) the definition of relatedness that was underlying the construction of the evaluation dataset, and (ii) the knowledge source used for computing semantic relatedness. We analyze how the underlying knowledge source influences the performance of a measure. Finally, we investigate th...

A Multimodal Vocabulary for Augmentative and Alternative Communication from Sound/Image Label Datasets

Existing Augmentative and Alternative Communication vocabularies assign multimodal stimuli to words with multiple meanings. The ambiguity hampers the vocabulary effectiveness when used by people with language disabilities. For example, the noun “a missing letter” may refer to a character or a written message, and each corresponds to a different picture. A vocabulary with images and sounds unamb...
