Efficient Hybrid Semantic Text Similarity using Wordnet and a Corpus
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Computer Science & Applications - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 9
Abstract
Text similarity plays an important role in natural language processing tasks such as answering questions and summarizing text. At present, state-of-the-art text similarity algorithms rely on inefficient word pairings and/or knowledge derived from large corpora such as Wikipedia. This article evaluates previous word similarity measures on benchmark datasets and then uses a hybrid word similarity in a novel text similarity measure (TSM). The proposed TSM is based on information content and WordNet semantic relations. TSM includes exact word match, the length of both sentences in a pair, and the maximum similarity between one word and the compared text. Compared with other well-known measures, results of TSM are surpassing or comparable with the best algorithms in the literature.
