Semantic Similarity Measure for Pairs of Short Biological Texts
نویسنده
چکیده
Finding the semantic similarity between biological texts, specially short texts, such as article abstracts and experiment descriptions of microarrays, may throw important information for experts in that field. To date, these methods have not been widely explored. In this paper, a comparison of different measures to calculate the semantic similarity of pairs of short biological texts is presented. An existing method for semantic similarity between general texts was adapted to be used in the biological context by employing the UMLS ontology. An evaluation of the methods was carried out and it was found that the adapted method works well for short biological texts.

متن کاملUsing Standardized Lexical Semantic Knowledge to Measure Similarity
The issue of sentence semantic similarity is important and essential to many applications of Natural Language Processing. This issue was treated in some frameworks dealing with the similarity between short texts especially with the similarity between sentence pairs. However, the semantic component was paradoxically weak in the proposed methods. In order to address this weakness, we propose in t...
متن کاملSemAligner: A Method and Tool for Aligning Chunks with Semantic Relation Types and Semantic Similarity Scores
This paper introduces a ruled-based method and software tool, called SemAligner, for aligning chunks across texts in a given pair of short English texts. The tool, based on the top performing method at the Interpretable Short Text Similarity shared task at SemEval 2015, where it was used with human annotated (gold) chunks, can now additionally process plain text-pairs using two powerful chunker...
