Semantic Similarity with Concept Senses: new Experiment

This dataset represents the results of the experimentation of a method for evaluating semantic similarity between concepts in a taxonomy. The method is based on the information-theoretic approach and allows senses of concepts in a given context to be considered. Relevance of senses is calculated in terms of semantic relatedness with the compared concepts. In a previous work [9], the adopted semantic relatedness method was the one described in [10], while in this work we also adopted the ones described in [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], and [16]. We applied our proposal by extending 7 methods for computing semantic similarity in a taxonomy, selected from the literature. The methods considered in the experiment are referred to as R[2], W&P[3], L[4], J&C[5], P&S[6], A[7], and A&M[8] The experiment was run on the well-known Miller and Charles benchmark dataset [1] for assessing semantic similarity. The results are organized in seven folders, each with the results related to one of the above semantic relatedness methods. In each folder there is a set of files, each referring to one pair of the Miller and Charles dataset. In fact, for each pair of concepts, all the 28 pairs are considered as possible different contexts. REFERENCES [1] Miller G.A., Charles W.G. 1991. Contextual correlates of semantic similarity.
