Semantic textual similarity measures the semantic equivalence between a pair of sentences. Lexical overlapping approach evaluates similarity among a sentence pair depending on the number of terms the sentence pair shares. The similarity can be measured at same level of abstraction or at multi levels. This paper presents the influence of token similarity measures using lexical overlap semantic similarity method in conjunction with quadratic assignment problem (QAP) alignment. Lexical overlap method is used to find whether a sentence pair is semantically equivalent or not.
