It is based on the intersection and number of incoming links for two articles. Measure shows good performance for two similarity benchmarks. Resolving ambiguity is also discussed. It is based on anchor links which results into up to 26 candidates per article. The following approaches are used: most common, most related, highest (common+related), sequential and anchor-based (check for two words appearing in anchor).}, description = {CiteULike: An effective, low-cost measure of semantic relatedness obtained from Wikipedia links}, interhash = {f8b0b3ba8f4a1c20e3d5d732a221f102}, intrahash = {ba9ad8be8431e2a5cb4f9e2f7db7f5ce}, keywords = {toread wikisempaths}, posted-at = {2010-04-20 11:06:23}, priority = {0}, timestamp = {2012-09-19T15:38:39.000+0200}, title = {An effective, low-cost measure of semantic relatedness obtained from Wikipedia links}, url = {http://www.aaai.org/Papers/Workshops/2008/WS-08-15/WS08-15-005.pdf}, year = 2008 }
