WikiRelate! Computing Semantic Relatedness Using Wikipedia
نویسندگان
چکیده
Wikipedia provides a knowledge base for computing word relatedness in a more structured fashion than a search engine and with more coverage than WordNet. In this work we present experiments on using Wikipedia for computing semantic relatedness and compare it to WordNet on various benchmarking datasets. Existing relatedness measures perform better using Wikipedia than a baseline given by Google counts, and we show that Wikipedia outperforms WordNet when applied to the largest available dataset designed for that purpose. The best results on this dataset are obtained by integrating Google, WordNet and Wikipedia based measures. We also show that including Wikipedia improves the performance of an NLP application processing naturally occurring texts.

متن کاملCPRel: Semantic Relatedness Computation Using Wikipedia based Context Profiles
Semantic relatedness is a well known problem with its significance ranging from computational linguistics to Natural language Processing applications. Relatedness computation is restricted by the amount of common sense and background knowledge required to relate any two terms. This paper proposes a novel model of relatedness using context profile built on features extracted from encyclopedic kn...
متن کاملMeasuring of Semantic Relatedness between Words based on Wikipedia Links
A novel technique of semantic relatedness measurement between words based on link structure of Wikipedia was provided. Only Wikipedia’s link information was used in this method, which avoid researchers from burdensome text processing. During the process of relatedness computation, the positive effects of two-directional Wikipedia’s links and four link types are taken into account. Using a widel...

متن کاملComputing Semantic Relatedness using Wikipedia Link Structure
This paper describes a new technique for obtaining measures of semantic relatedness. Like other recent approaches, it uses Wikipedia to provide a vast amount of structured world knowledge about the terms of interest. Our system, the Wikipedia Link Vector Model or WLVM, is unique in that it does so using only the hyperlink structure of Wikipedia rather than its full textual content. To evaluate ...
