Using Information Content to Evaluate Semantic Similarity in a Taxonomy

1995.
Authors: Philip Resnik
URL: http://www.citebase.org/abstract?id=oai:arXiv.org:cmp-lg/9511007
Tags: diploma_thesis evaluation_methods
Abstract: This paper presents a new measure of semantic similarity in an IS-A taxonomy, based on the notion of information content. Experimental evaluation suggests that the measure performs encouragingly well (a correlation of r = 0.79 with a benchmark set of human similarity judgments, with an upper bound of r = 0.90 for human subjects performing the same task), and significantly better than the traditional edge counting approach (r = 0.66).
