Just an Update on PMING Distance for Web-based Semantic Similarity in Artificial Intelligence and Data Mining

Understand

One of the main problems that emerges in the classic approach to semantics is the difficulty in acquisition and maintenance of ontologies and semantic annotations.

• On the other hand, the Internet explosion and the massive diffusion of mobile smart devices lead to the creation of a worldwide system, which information is daily checked and fueled by the contribution of millions of users who interacts in a collaborative way.
• Search engines, continually exploring the Web, are a natural source of information on which to base a modern approach to semantic annotation.
• A promising idea is that it is possible to generalize the semantic similarity, under the assumption that semantically similar terms behave similarly, and define collaborative proximity measures based on the indexing information returned by search engines.
