Comparing Wikipedia and German Wordnet by Evaluating Semantic Relatedness on Multiple Datasets
نویسندگان
چکیده
We evaluate semantic relatedness measures on different German datasets showing that their performance depends on: (i) the definition of relatedness that was underlying the construction of the evaluation dataset, and (ii) the knowledge source used for computing semantic relatedness. We analyze how the underlying knowledge source influences the performance of a measure. Finally, we investigate the combination of wordnets andWikipedia to improve the performance of semantic relatedness measures.

Knowledge Derived From Wikipedia For Computing Semantic Relatedness
Wikipedia provides a semantic network for computing semantic relatedness in a more structured fashion than a search engine and with more coverage than WordNet. 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,...

متن کاملWisdom of crowds versus wisdom of linguists - measuring the semantic relatedness of words
In this article, we present a comprehensive study aimed at computing semantic relatedness of word pairs. We analyze the performance of a large number of semantic relatedness measures proposed in the literature with respect to different experimental conditions, such as (i) the datasets employed, (ii) the language (English or German), (iii) the underlying knowledge source, and (iv) the evaluation...
متن کاملEvaluating Emergent Semantics in Folksonomies on Human Intuition
Semantic relations that closely resemble the human intuition of semantic relatedness, have been extracted automatically from sources, like text corpora, Wikipedia, or folksonomies, e.g., for constructing ontologies or for enhancing website navigation. Thereby, folksonomies are especially interesting since often, rich semantic structures emerge from the annotation of resources through users. In ...
متن کاملUsing Wiktionary for Computing Semantic Relatedness
We introduce Wiktionary as an emerging lexical semantic resource that can be used as a substitute for expert-made resources in AI applications. We evaluate Wiktionary on the pervasive task of computing semantic relatedness for English and German by means of correlation with human rankings and solving word choice problems. For the first time, we apply a concept vector based measure to a set of d...
