A hybrid approach for measuring semantic similarity based on IC-weighted path distance in WordNet

As a valuable tool for text understanding, semantic similarity measurement enables discriminative semantic-based applications in the fields of natural language processing, information retrieval, computational linguistics and artificial intelligence. Most of the existing studies have used structured taxonomies such as WordNet to explore the lexical semantic relationship, however, the improvement of computation accuracy is still a challenge for them. To address this problem, in this paper, we propose a hybrid WordNet-based approach CSSM-ICSP to measuring concept semantic similarity, which leverage the information content(IC) of concepts to weight the shortest path distance between concepts. To improve the performance of IC computation, we also develop a novel model of the intrinsic IC of concepts, where a variety of semantic properties involved in the structure of WordNet are taken into consideration. In addition, we summarize and classify the technical characteristics of previous WordNet-based approaches, as well as evaluate our approach against these approaches on various benchmarks. The experimental results of the proposed approaches are more correlated with human judgment of similarity in term of the correlation coefficient, which indicates that our IC model and similarity detection approach are comparable or even better for semantic similarity measurement as compared to others.     

A semantic similarity method based on information content exploiting multiple ontologies

The quantification of the semantic similarity between terms is an important research area that configures a valuable tool for text understanding. Among the different paradigms used by related works to compute semantic similarity, in recent years, information theoretic approaches have shown promising results by computing the information content (IC) of concepts from the knowledge provided by ontologies. These approaches, however, are hampered by the coverage offered by the single input ontology. In this paper, we propose extending IC-based similarity measures by considering multiple ontologies in an integrated way. Several strategies are proposed according to which ontology the evaluated terms belong. Our proposal has been evaluated by means of a widely used benchmark of medical terms and MeSH and SNOMED CT as ontologies. Results show an improvement in the similarity assessment accuracy when multiple ontologies are considered.     

A semantic similarity metric combining features and intrinsic information content

In many research fields such as Psychology, Linguistics, Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence, computing semantic similarity between words is an important issue. In this paper a new semantic similarity metric, that exploits some notions of the feature-based theory of similarity and translates it into the information theoretic domain, which leverages the notion of Information Content (IC), is presented. In particular, the proposed metric exploits the notion of intrinsic IC which quantifies IC values by scrutinizing how concepts are arranged in an ontological structure. In order to evaluate this metric, an on line experiment asking the community of researchers to rank a list of 65 word pairs has been conducted. The experiment’s web setup allowed to collect 101 similarity ratings and to differentiate native and non-native English speakers. Such a large and diverse dataset enables to confidently evaluate similarity metrics by correlating them with human assessments. Experimental evaluations using WordNet indicate that the proposed metric, coupled with the notion of intrinsic IC, yields results above the state of the art. Moreover, the intrinsic IC formulation also improves the accuracy of other IC-based metrics. In order to investigate the generality of both the intrinsic IC formulation and proposed similarity metric a further evaluation using the MeSH biomedical ontology has been performed. Even in this case significant results were obtained. The proposed metric and several others have been implemented in the Java WordNet Similarity Library.     

A new semantic relatedness measurement using WordNet features

Computing semantic similarity/relatedness between concepts and words is an important issue of many research fields. Information theoretic approaches exploit the notion of Information Content (IC) that provides for a concept a better understanding of its semantics. In this paper, we present a complete IC metrics survey with a critical study. Then, we propose a new intrinsic IC computing method using taxonomical features extracted from an ontology for a particular concept. This approach quantifies the subgraph formed by the concept subsumers using the depth and the descendents count as taxonomical parameters. In a second part, we integrate this IC metric in a new parameterized multistrategy approach for measuring word semantic relatedness. This measure exploits the WordNet features such as the noun “is a” taxonomy, the nominalization relation allowing the use of verb “is a” taxonomy and the shared words (overlaps) in glosses. Our work has been evaluated and compared with related works using a wide set of benchmarks conceived for word semantic similarity/relatedness tasks. Obtained results show that our IC method and the new relatedness measure correlated better with human judgments than related works.     

Ontology-based information content computation

The information content (IC) of a concept provides an estimation of its degree of generality/concreteness, a dimension which enables a better understanding of concept’s semantics. As a result, IC has been successfully applied to the automatic assessment of the semantic similarity between concepts. In the past, IC has been estimated as the probability of appearance of concepts in corpora. However, the applicability and scalability of this method are hampered due to corpora dependency and data sparseness. More recently, some authors proposed IC-based measures using taxonomical features extracted from an ontology for a particular concept, obtaining promising results. In this paper, we analyse these ontology-based approaches for IC computation and propose several improvements aimed to better capture the semantic evidence modelled in the ontology for the particular concept. Our approach has been evaluated and compared with related works (both corpora and ontology-based ones) when applied to the task of semantic similarity estimation. Results obtained for a widely used benchmark show that our method enables similarity estimations which are better correlated with human judgements than related works.     

A hybrid similarity measure of contents for TV personalization

Similarity measure of contents plays an important role in TV personalization, e.g., TV content group recommendation and similar TV content retrieval, which essentially are content clustering and example-based retrieval. We define similar TV contents to be those with similar semantic information, e.g., plot, background, genre, etc. Several similarity measure methods, notably vector space model based and category hierarchy model based similarity measure schemes, have been proposed for the purpose of data clustering and example-based retrieval. Each method has advantages and shortcomings of its own in TV content similarity measure. In this paper, we propose a hybrid approach for TV content similarity measure, which combines both vector space model and category hierarchy model. The hybrid measure proposed here makes the most of TV metadata information and takes advantage of the two similarity measurements. It measures TV content similarity from the semantic level other than the physical level. Furthermore, we propose an adaptive strategy for setting the combination parameters. The experimental results showed that using the hybrid similarity measure proposed here is superior to using either alone for TV content clustering and example-based retrieval.     

Joint semantic similarity assessment with raw corpus and structured ontology for semantic-oriented service discovery

Semantic-oriented service matching is one of the challenges in automatic Web service discovery. Service users may search for Web services using keywords and receive the matching services in terms of their functional profiles. A number of approaches to computing the semantic similarity between words have been developed to enhance the precision of matchmaking, which can be classified into ontology-based and corpus-based approaches. The ontology-based approaches commonly use the differentiated concept information provided by a large ontology for measuring lexical similarity with word sense disambiguation. Nevertheless, most of the ontologies are domain-special and limited to lexical coverage, which have a limited applicability. On the other hand, corpus-based approaches rely on the distributional statistics of context to represent per word as a vector and measure the distance of word vectors. However, the polysemous problem may lead to a low computational accuracy. In this paper, in order to augment the semantic information content in word vectors, we propose a multiple semantic fusion (MSF) model to generate sense-specific vector per word. In this model, various semantic properties of the general-purpose ontology WordNet are integrated to fine-tune the distributed word representations learned from corpus, in terms of vector combination strategies. The retrofitted word vectors are modeled as semantic vectors for estimating semantic similarity. The MSF model-based similarity measure is validated against other similarity measures on multiple benchmark datasets. Experimental results of word similarity evaluation indicate that our computational method can obtain higher correlation coefficient with human judgment in most cases. Moreover, the proposed similarity measure is demonstrated to improve the performance of Web service matchmaking based on a single semantic resource. Accordingly, our findings provide a new method and perspective to understand and represent lexical semantics.
