Similarity Detection Based on Semantic Distance
… with the conceptual framework of WordNet, semantic distance is used to measure the similarity between documents. Noun and verb word concepts are transformed into paths that represent their physical location within the WordNet hierarchy. Path prefixes are compared using three distinct …

A Graph Approach to Measuring Text Distance
… texts can be classified on the basis of their semantic distance (how similar or different the texts are). For example, comparing the local context of an ambiguous word with that of a known word can help identify the sense of the ambiguous word. Typically, a distributional measure is used to …

Cross-Linguistic Influences on English Loanword Learnability in the Japanese Context
… and written receptive knowledge of the English semantics of English lexis that is loanwords in the Japanese language and the predictive strength of the variables of semantic distance, concreteness/abstractness, polysemy, phonological distance, number of syllables, number of phonemes, number of …

Grounding for a computational model of place
… cognitive conceptions. By using measures of semantic distance a user can observe the proximity of place not only in distance but also by context or association. Applications built upon this model can then construct representations that show places that are similar in feeling or reasonable …

Can Engineers Be Primed to Think in Systems? An Empirical Study Showing the Effects of Concept Mapping on Engineering Students' Ability to Explore the Design Space
… effort. The number of systems mentioned and the semantic distance between words used in each response were the metrics used for exploration of the design space. Results of the analysis for one of the tasks were significant. The findings suggest that the participants who received the concept …

Cluster damage robustness analysis and space independent community detection in complex networks
… space, but they are mapped to an artificial semantic space that defines the semantic distance between pairs of words. This novel approach allows for an additional dimension of network information that results in a more complete dataset. Then, community detection identifies groups of words …

Episodic Detail Production and Semantic Coherence in Down Syndrome and Fragile X Syndrome: Longitudinal Findings from Expressive Language Sampling
… memory requires the integration of episodic and semantic information and is closely tied to expressive language abilities. This study examined episodic detail production and narrative coherence in children and adolescents with Down syndrome (DS) and Fragile X syndrome (FXS) using conversational …

Semantic component selection
… The challenge is partially addressed by use of semantic models and reasoning approaches that allow categorisation and (within limited fashion) provide understanding of this information. Nevertheless, many such methods are dependent on expert input and, consequently, are expensive to produce and …

Maternal and paternal dimensions in the image of god: a comparative study
The present study attempts to investigate the semantic relationship between parental images and the image of God. In doing so, it seeks to find out to what extent professional orientation and sex influence the structure of the maternal, paternal and divine images, as well as the symbolic function …

Text mining with exploitation of user's background knowledge : discovering novel association rules from text
… user-oriented novelty measure is defined as the semantic distance between the antecedent and the consequent of a rule in the background knowledge. It consists of two components: occurrence distance and connection distance. The former considers the co-occurrences of two keywords in the background …

Spatial and Thematic Ontology in Cultural Heritage Information Systems
… using integrated spatial and thematic thesauri. Semantic distance measures were<br/>employed to imprecisely match query terms, providing ranked lists of similar objects. A thematic measure was developed based on semantic-path traversals to expand artefact types. The project explored some of the …

Subprofile aware diversification of recommendations
… was given by an aggregate of their distances from one another, according to some semantic distance metric defined on item features such as movie genres. More recent intent-aware diversification methods formulate diversity in terms of coverage and relevance of aspects. The aspects are …

The neuro-cognitive representation of word meaning resolved in space and time.
… complex multidimensional representation, called semantic representation, which corresponds to its meaning. Notwithstanding decades of neuropsychological and neuroimaging work on the cognitive and neural substrate of semantic representations, many questions are left unanswered. The research in …

Embodied Virtual Reality: The Impacts of Human-Nature Connection During Engineering Design
… an exploration of design space as a function of semantic distance, and large language models (LLMs) to synthesize design ideas and themes. An LLM's performance lent accuracy to the design ideas in comparison to thematic content analysis, but struggled to cross-compare groups to provide …

New Methodology for Measuring Semantic Functional Similarity Based on Bidirectional Integration
1.2 billion users in facebook, 17 million articles in Wikipedia, and 190 million tweets per day have demanded significant increase of information processing through Internet in recent years. Similarly life sciences and bioinformatics also have faced issues of processing Big data due to the …
