Word Similarity In WordNet
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a new information theoretic approach to measure the semantic similarity between concepts. By exploiting advantages of distance (edge-base) approach for taxonomic tree-like concepts, we enhance the strength of information theoretic (node-based) approach. Our measure therefore gives a complete view of word similarity, which cannot be achieved by solely applying node-based approaches. Our experimental measure achieves 88%, correlating with human rating.

Automatic Construction of Persian ICT WordNet using Princeton WordNet
WordNet is a large lexical database of English language, in which, nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs are grouped into sets of cognitive synonyms (synsets). Each synset expresses a distinct concept. Synsets are interlinked by both semantic and lexical relations. WordNet is essentially used for word sense disambiguation, information retrieval, and text translation. In this paper, we propose s...
متن کاملMerging Verb Senses of Hindi WordNet using Word Embeddings
In this paper, we present an approach for merging fine-grained verb senses of Hindi WordNet. Senses are merged based on gloss similarity score. We explore the use of word embeddings for gloss similarity computation and compare with various WordNet based gloss similarity measures. Our results indicate that word embeddings show significant improvement over WordNet based measures. Consequently, we...

متن کاملImprovements To Monolingual English Word Sense Disambiguation
Word Sense Disambiguation remains one of the most complex problems facing computational linguists to date. In this paper we present modification to the graph based state of the art algorithm In-Degree. Our modifications entail augmenting the basic Lesk similarity measure with more relations based on the structure of WordNet, adding SemCor examples to the basic WordNet lexical resource and final...
متن کاملWordNet: : SenseRelate: : AllWords - A Broad Coverage Word Sense Tagger that Maximizes Semantic Relatedness
WordNet::SenseRelate::AllWords is a freely available open source Perl package that assigns a sense to every content word (known to WordNet) in a text. It finds the sense of each word that is most related to the senses of surrounding words, based on measures found in WordNet::Similarity. This method is shown to be competitive with results from recent evaluations including SENSEVAL-2 and SENSEVAL-3.
متن کاملAugmenting 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...
