A Novel Comprehensive Approach for Estimating Concept Semantic Similarity in WordNet

Computation of semantic similarity between concepts is an important foundation for many research works. This paper focuses on IC computing methods and IC measures, which estimate the semantic similarities between concepts by exploiting the topological parameters of the taxonomy. Based on analyzing representative IC computing methods and typical semantic similarity measures, we propose a new hybrid IC computing method. Through adopting the parameter dhyp and lch, we utilize the new IC computing method and propose a novel comprehensive measure of semantic similarity between concepts. An experiment based on WordNet "is a" taxonomy has been designed to test representative measures and our measure on benchmark dataset R&G, and the results show that our measure can obviously improve the similarity accuracy. We evaluate the proposed approach by comparing the correlation coefficients between five measures and the artificial data. The results show that our proposal outperforms the previous measures.
