| This component does text relevance assessment. It takes two portions of texts (phrases, sentences, paragraphs) and returns a similarity score. |
| Similarity component can be used on top of search to improve relevance, computing similarity score between a question and all search results (snippets). |
| Also, this component is useful for web mining of images, videos, forums, blogs, and other media with textual descriptions. Such applications as content generation |
| and filtering meaningless speech recognition results are included in the sample applications of this component. |
| Relevance assessment is based on machine learning of syntactic parse trees (constituency trees, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parse_tree). |
| The similarity score is calculated as the size of all maximal common subtrees for sentences from a pair of texts ( |
| www.aaai.org/ocs/index.php/WS/AAAIW11/paper/download/3971/4187, www.aaai.org/ocs/index.php/FLAIRS/FLAIRS11/paper/download/2573/3018, |
| www.aaai.org/ocs/index.php/SSS/SSS10/paper/download/1146/1448). |
| The objective of Similarity component is to give an application engineer as tool for text relevance which can be used as a black box, no need to understand |
| computational linguistics or machine learning. |
