Bo You, Ting He, Fang Li · Applied Mechanics and Materials · 2013
Semantic relatedness measures play important roles in many fields, such as information retrieval and Nature Language Processing. There are mainly two kinds of traditional methods to measure semantic relatedness: dictionary based and corpus based. However, with the development of information technology, web search engine is used to do this work. In this paper, we propose a method integrating page counts and web-based kernel function for measuring semantic relatedness between words. It gets a better result than using page counts and web-based kernel function alone. Experimental results show Spearman rank correlation coefficient can reach 0.63 and Correlation reach 0.724.
