Semantic Technologies for Semantic Applications. Part 2. Models of Comparative Text Semantics

  • Published:
Scientific and Technical Information Processing Aims and scope

Abstract—

Both parts of this paper discuss the basic aspects of semantic computing, semantic technologies, and semantic applications applied to NL-text big data processing for knowledge extracting and decision making. The basic components of the corresponding systems and technologies are reviewed, which include ontologies and semantic models of their use, semantic resources, and semantic component. The semantic resources contain knowledge about the semantics and means for refinement of this semantics. The semantic component of the technology is used to formally describe the meaning of NL-entities and numerically evaluate their pairwise semantic similarity. The main focus of this part is on numerical models of pairwise semantic similarity of NL-entities. These models are important for solving tasks of text semantic clustering and classification and their various applications. Various types of semantic relatedness and semantic similarity measures for NL-entities in the context of semantic computing tasks are discussed and compared. Problems that constrain the practical use of semantic technologies for the development of semantic applications are analyzed.
