TY - JOUR ID - citeulike:3479179 L3 - citeulike-article-id:3479179 N2 - This paper presents a measure of semantic similarity in an is-a taxonomy based on the notion of shared information content. Experimental evaluation against a benchmark set of human similarity judgments demonstrates that the measure performs significantly better than the traditional edge counting approach. The paper presents algorithms that take advantage of taxonomic similarity in resolving syntactic and semantic ambiguity, along with experimental results demonstrating their effectiveness. 1.
