I explored three different algorithms for computing English sentence similarity. The first algorithm, which is well-explored in the literature  Salton and Buckley, 1988, Wu and Salton, 1981], weights words in each sentence according to term frequency and inverse document frequency (tf-idf ) and uses no semantic information. The second algorithm uses measures of the semantic distance between words belonging to the same part of speech. The third algorithm combines the tf-idf scores and the semantic distance scores between words. I evaluated the performance of the second and third algorithms on two data sets: O'Shea's set of sentence pairs with human similarity judgements  Li et al., Aug, Rubenstein and Goodenough, 1965], and Microsoft Research's sentence-level paraphrase dataset  Rus et al., 2012]. On O'Shea's data set, the third algorithm more accurately matches human judgments than the second. On the Microsoft data set, there was not a significant difference between the two algorithms\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Zaman Anis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3659616389\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783659616389\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e LAP Lambert Academic Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/22\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.17d","brand":"Zaman Anis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44138678354175,"sku":"9783659616389","price":43.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0da41782-b23e-460a-b09d-81e6c81b7996.jpg?v=1687900954","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/statistical-and-semantic-similarity-between-zaman-anis-9783659616389","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
