Abstract: This paper presents a knowledge-based and experiment-based method for measuring the semantic similarity of texts. While there is a large body of previous work focused on finding the semantic similarity of concepts and words, the application of these word oriented methods to text similarity has not been yet explored. Five different proposed measures of similarity or semantic distance in WordNet were experimentally compared by examining their performance in a real-word spelling correction system.
Keywords: Dictionary-Based, Information-Based, Lexical-based, WordNet.
Scope of the Article: Text Mining
