Measuring Similarities Between Technical Terms based on Wikipedia - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2011, written by Myunggwon Hwang, Do-Heon Jeong, Seungwoo Lee and Hanmin Jung.

Overview

The term similarities are utilized for measuring relatedness which is useful for semantic information processing such as content understanding, query expansion and word sense disambiguation. In research, term similarities are used for grasping technical terms deeply related to emerging technologies. To measure term similarities, authors propose a hybrid method based on both Wikipedia category and internal link information. And its performance is evaluated by comparative analysis with WLM (Wikipedia Link-based Measure), which is a state-of-the-art methodology. The performance evaluation shows that method works better than other methods.
