Using Information Content to Evaluate Semantic Similarity in a Taxonomy
TL;DR: In this article, a new measure of semantic similarity in an IS-A taxonomy based on the notion of information content is presented, and experimental evaluation suggests that the measure performs encouragingly well (a correlation of r = 0.79 with a benchmark set of human similarity judgments, with an upper bound of r < 0.90 for human subjects performing the same task).

Using information content to evaluate semantic similarity in a taxonomy
TL;DR: This paper presents a new measure of semantic similarity in an IS-A taxonomy, based on the notion of information content, which performs encouragingly well and is significantly better than the traditional edge counting approach.

Semantic similarity in a taxonomy: an information-based measure and its application to problems of ambiguity in natural language
TL;DR: In this paper, a measure of semantic similarity in an IS-A taxonomy based on the notion of shared information content is presented, and experimental evaluation against a benchmark set of human similarity judgments demonstrates that the measure performs better than the traditional edge counting approach.

The Web as a parallel corpus
Philip Resnik,Noah A. Smith +1 more
TL;DR: The use of supervised learning based on structural features of documents to improve classification performance, a new content-based measure of translational equivalence, and adaptation of the system to take advantage of the Internet Archive for mining parallel text from the Web on a large scale are presented.
Selection and information: a class-based approach to lexical relationships
TL;DR: A new, information-theoretic account of selectional constraints is proposed, which assumes that lexical items are organized in a conceptual taxonomy according to class membership, where classes are defined simply as sets rather than in terms of explicit features or properties.
