Abstract

Recognizing semantic similarity between words is a generic problem for many applications of computational linguistics and artificial intelligence, such as text retrieval, classification and clustering. In this paper we investigate a new approach for measuring semantic similarity that combines methods of existing approaches that use different information sources in their similarity calculations namely, shortest path length between compared words, depth in the taxonomy hierarchy, information content, semantic density of compared words, and the gloss of words. We evaluate our measure against a benchmark set of human similarity ratings and the results show that our approach demonstrates better semantic measures as compared to the existing approaches.
