MiniExperts: An SVM Approach for Measuring Semantic Textual Similarity
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the system submitted by the University of Wolverhampton and the University of Malaga for SemEval-2015 Task 2: Semantic Textual Similarity. The system uses a Supported Vector Machine approach based on a number of linguistically motivated features. Our system performed satisfactorily for English and obtained a mean 0.7216 Pearson correlation. However, it performed less adequately for Spanish, obtaining only a mean 0.5158.

CFILT-CORE: Finding Semantic Textual Similarity using UNL
Semantic Textual Similarity is the task of finding the degree of similarity between a pair of sentences through semantics extraction. This is motivated by the fact that syntactically diverse sentences often convey the same meaning. This paper describes the approach that was used in the *SEM Shared Task 2013. The approach combines semantic, syntactic and lexical similarity measures for finding s...
متن کاملCFILT-CORE: Semantic Textual Similarity using Universal Networking Language
This paper describes the system that was submitted in the *SEM 2013 Semantic Textual Similarity shared task. The task aims to find the similarity score between a pair of sentences. We describe a Universal Networking Language (UNL) based semantic extraction system for measuring the semantic similarity. Our approach combines syntactic and word level similarity measures along with the UNL based se...
متن کاملSIMTEX: An Approach for Detecting and Measuring Textual Similarity based on Discourse and Semantics
Nowadays automatic systems for detecting and measuring textual similarity are being developed, in order to apply them to different tasks in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP). Currently, these systems use surface linguistic features or statistical information. Nowadays, few researchers use deep linguistic information. In this work, we present an algorithm for detecting and measuring...
متن کاملTowards a Universal Method for Measuring Semantic Textual Similarity
Semantic textual similarity (STS) measures the degree to which two texts share the same meaning. In Natural Language Processing, STS touches many different aspects, from thesaurus generation to machine translation. However, methods for measuring STS have often been developed only for very specific types of texts, such as for comparing two words or for comparing paragraphs. This disjoint approac...

We present in this paper our system developed for SemEval 2015 Shared Task 2 (2a English Semantic Textual Similarity, STS, and 2c Interpretable Similarity) and the results of the submitted runs. For the English STS subtask, we used regression models combining a wide array of features including semantic similarity scores obtained from various methods. One of our runs achieved weighted mean corre...
