Augmenting Approximate Similarity Searching with Lexical Information

Augmenting WordNet-like lexical resources with distributional evidence. An application-oriented perspective

The paper deals with the issue of how and to what extent WordNet-like resources provide the necessary information for an assessment of semantic similarity which is useful for practical applications. The general point is made that taxonomical information should be complemented with distributional evidence. The claim is substantiated through experimental data and an illustration of a word sense d...

Word2Vec vs DBnary: Augmenting METEOR using Vector Representations or Lexical Resources?

This paper presents an approach combining lexico-semantic resources and distributed representations of words applied to the evaluation in machine translation (MT). This study is made through the enrichment of a well-known MT evaluation metric: METEOR. This metric enables an approximate match (synonymy or morphological similarity) between an automatic and a reference translation. Our experiments...

Augmenting Noun Taxonomies by Combining Lexical Similarity Metrics

Developing a Semantic Similarity Judgment Test for Persian Action Verbs and Non-action Nouns in Patients With Brain Injury and Determining its Content Validity

Objective: Brain trauma evidences suggest that the two grammatical categories of noun and verb are processed in different regions of the brain due to differences in the complexity of grammatical and semantic information processing. Studies have shown that the verbs belonging to different semantic categories lead to neural activity in different areas of the brain, and action verb processing is r...

Turbo similarity searching: Effect of fingerprint and dataset on virtual-screening performance

Turbo similarity searching uses information about the nearest neighbours in a conventional chemical similarity search to increase the effectiveness of virtual screening, with a data fusion approach being used to combine the nearest-neighbour information. A previous paper suggested that the approach was highly effective in operation; this paper further tests the approach using a range of differe...
