Measuring Semantic Similarity for Bengali Tweets Using WordNet
Dwijen Rudrapal, Amitava Das, Baby Bhattacharya · 2015
Similarity between natural language texts, sentences in terms of meaning, known as tex-tual entailment, is a generic problem in the area of computational linguistics. In the last few years researchers worked on various as-pects of textual entailment problem, but mostly restricted to English language. Here in this paper we present a method for measuring the semantic similarity of Bengali tweets us-ing WordNet. Moreover we defined partial textual entailment (PTE) as in real data par-tial entailment cases are equally prevalent with the complete/direct entailment. Alt-hough by definition entailment is a direction-al relationship, but here we consider entail-ment more as semantic similarity.
