WordNet: : Similarity - Measuring the Relatedness of Concepts
نویسندگان
چکیده
WordNet::Similarity is a freely available software package that makes it possible to measure the semantic similarity and relatedness between a pair of concepts (or synsets). It provides six measures of similarity, and three measures of relatedness, all of which are based on the lexical database WordNet. These measures are implemented as Perl modules which take as input two concepts, and return a numeric value that represents the degree to which they are similar or related.

Random Walk on WordNet to Measure Lexical Semantic Relatedness
The need to determine semantic relatedness or its inverse, semantic distance, between two lexically expressed concepts is a problem that pervades much of natural language processing such as document summarization, information extraction and retrieval, word sense disambiguation and the automatic correction of word errors in text. Standard ways of measuring similarity between two words on a thesa...
متن کاملEvaluating Semantic Metrics on Tasks of Concept Similarity
This study presents an evaluation of WordNet-based semantic similarity and relatedness measures in tasks focused on concept similarity. Assuming similarity as distinct from relatedness, the goal is to fill a gap within the current body of work in the evaluation of similarity and relatedness measures. Past studies have either focused entirely on relatedness or only evaluated judgments over words...
متن کاملHarnessing different knowledge sources to measure semantic relatedness under a uniform model
Measuring semantic relatedness between words or concepts is a crucial process to many Natural Language Processing tasks. Exiting methods exploit semantic evidence from a single knowledge source, and are predominantly evaluated only in the general domain. This paper introduces a method of harnessing different knowledge sources under a uniform model for measuring semantic relatedness between word...
متن کاملUsing WordNet-Based Context Vectors To Estimate The Semantic Relatedness Of Concepts
In this paper, we introduce a WordNetbased measure of semantic relatedness by combining the structure and content of WordNet with co–occurrence information derived from raw text. We use the co–occurrence information along with the WordNet definitions to build gloss vectors corresponding to each concept in WordNet. Numeric scores of relatedness are assigned to a pair of concepts by measuring the...
متن کاملMeasuring Semantic Relatedness Using People and WordNet
In this paper, we (1) propose a new dataset for testing the degree of relatedness between pairs of words; (2) propose a new WordNet-based measure of relatedness, and evaluate it on the new dataset.
