In this paper, we describe our proposed method for measuring semantic similarity for a given pair of words at SemEval-2017 monolingual semantic word similarity task.We use a combination of knowledge-based and corpus-based techniques.We use FarsNet, the Persian Word-Net, besides deep learning techniques to extract the similarity of words.We evaluated our proposed approach on Persian (Farsi) test data at SemEval-2017.It outperformed the other participants and ranked the first in the challenge.
