In this research, we propose 3 different approaches to measure the semantic relatedness between 2 words: (i) boost the performance of GloVe word embedding model via removing or transforming abnormal dimensions; (ii) linearly combine the information extracted from WordNet and word embeddings; and (iii) utilize word embedding and 12 linguistic information extracted from WordNet as features for Support Vector Regression. We conducted our experiments on 8 benchmark data sets, and computed Spearman correlations between the outputs of our methods and the ground truth. We report our results together with 3 state‐of‐the‐art approaches. The experimental results show that our method can outperform state‐of‐the‐art approaches in all the selected English benchmark data sets.
