Measuring of Semantic Relatedness between Words based on Wikipedia Links

چکیده

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 widely used test set of manual defined measures of semantic relatedness as bench-mark, our method resulted in substantial improvement in correlation of computed relatedness score with human judgments, with a smaller amount of calculation comparing with other present popular methods in computing semantic relatedness between words.

Measuring Semantic Relatedness using Wikipedia Signed Network

Identifying the semantic relatedness of two words is an important task for the information retrieval, natural language processing, and text mining. However, due to the diversity of meaning for a word, the semantic relatedness of two words is still hard to precisely evaluate under the limited corpora. Nowadays, Wikipedia is now a huge and wiki-based encyclopedia on the internet that has become a...

A Random Graph Walk based Approach to Computing Semantic Relatedness Using Knowledge from Wikipedia

Determining semantic relatedness between words or concepts is a fundamental process to many Natural Language Processing applications. Approaches for this task typically make use of knowledge resources such as WordNet and Wikipedia. However, these approaches only make use of limited number of features extracted from these resources, without investigating the usefulness of combining various diffe...

Harnessing different knowledge sources to measure semantic relatedness under a uniform model

Measuring semantic relatedness between words or concepts is a crucial process to many Natural Language Processing tasks. Exiting methods exploit semantic evidence from a single knowledge source, and are predominantly evaluated only in the general domain. This paper introduces a method of harnessing different knowledge sources under a uniform model for measuring semantic relatedness between word...

Text Relatedness Based on a Word Thesaurus

The computation of relatedness between two fragments of text in an automated manner requires taking into account a wide range of factors pertaining to the meaning the two fragments convey, and the pairwise relations between their words. Without doubt, a measure of relatedness between text segments must take into account both the lexical and the semantic relatedness between words. Such a measure...
