Semantic similarity quantification between concepts is one of the inevitable parts in domains like Natural Language Processing, Information Retrieval, Question Answering, etc. to understand the text and their relationships better. Last few decades, many measures have been proposed by incorporating various corpus-based and knowledge-based resources. WordNet and Wikipedia are two of the Knowledge-based resources. The contribution of WordNet in the above said domain is enormous due to its richness in defining a word and all of its relationship with others. In this paper, we proposed an approach to quantify the similarity between concepts that exploits the synsets and the gloss definitions of different concepts using WordNet. Our method considers the gloss definitions, contextual words that are helping in defining a word, synsets of contextual word and the confidence of occurrence of a word in other word’s definition for calculating the similarity. The evaluation based on different gold standard benchmark datasets shows the efficiency of our system in comparison with other existing taxonomical and definitional measures.

The combination of recent developments in question-answering research and the availability of unparalleled resources developed specifically for automatic semantic processing of text in the medical domain provides a unique opportunity to explore complex question answering in the domain of clinical medicine. This article presents a system designed to satisfy the information needs of physicians practicing evidence-based medicine. We have developed a series of knowledge extractors, which employ a combination of knowledge-based and statistical techniques, for automatically identifying clinically relevant aspects of MEDLINE abstracts. These extracted elements serve as the input to an algorithm that scores the relevance of citations with respect to structured representations of information needs, in accordance with the principles of evidence-based medicine. Starting with an initial list of citations retrieved by PubMed, our system can bring relevant abstracts into higher ranking positions, and from these abstracts generate responses that directly answer physicians' questions. We describe three separate evaluations: one focused on the accuracy of the knowledge extractors, one conceptualized as a document reranking task, and finally, an evaluation of answers by two physicians. Experiments on a collection of real-world clinical questions show that our approach significantly outperforms the already competitive PubMed baseline.

Textual Question Answering (QA) identifies the answer to a question in large collections of on-line documents. By providing a small set of exact answers to questions, QA takes a step closer to information retrieval rather than document retrieval. A QA system comprises three modules: a question-processing module, a document-processing module, and an answer extraction and formulation module. Questions may be asked about any topic, in contrast with Information Extraction (IE), which identifies textual information relevant only to a predefined set of events and entities. The natural language processing (NLP) techniques used in open-domain QA systems may range from simple lexical and semantic disambiguation of question stems to complex processing that combines syntactic and semantic features of the questions with pragmatic information derived from the context of candidate answers. This article reviews current research in integrating knowledge-based NLP methods with shallow processing techniques for QA.
