Semantic similarity computation with different metrics

Description • Installation • Usage • License


Description

TaxoVec is a semantic similarity library for Python which implements the state-of-the-art semantic similarity metrics like Resnik, JCN and HSS.

Requirements

  • Python 3.6 or later
  • NLTK
  • NumPy
  • Pandas

Installation

There are several ways to install TaxoVec, the recommended method is to use pip(the Python package manager) in the following way:

pip install TaxoVec==0.1.0

Usage

Using Wikipedia copus for calculating the Information content:

semantic_similarity('cat', 'dog', 'resnik')

6.169410755220327

Calculating Information Conent from a given corpus:

from TaxoVec.calculate_IC import calculate_IC
from TaxoVec.functions import semantic_similarity

calculate_IC(path_to_corpus, path_to_save_IC_file)
semantic_similarity('cat', 'dog', 'resnik', path_to_save_IC_file)

Semantic similarity functions

The function semantic_similarity(word1, word2, kind, ic) has these options for the argument kind:

  • hss -> HSS
  • wup -> WUP
  • lcs -> LC
  • path_sim -> Shortest Path
  • resnik -> Resnik
  • jcn -> Jiang-Conrath
  • lin -> Lin
  • seco -> Seco
