The Past

Semantic similarity measures are very important in many computer‐related fields. Previous works on applications such as data integration, query expansion, tag refactoring or text clustering have used some semantic similarity measures in the past. Despite the usefulness of semantic similarity measures in these applications, the problem of measuring the similarity between two text expressions remains a key challenge. This paper aims to address this issue.

Semantic similarity measurement aims to determine the likeness between two text expressions that use different lexicographies for representing the same real object or idea. There are a lot of semantic similarity measures for addressing this problem. However, the best results have been achieved when aggregating a number of simple similarity measures. This means that after the various similarity values have been calculated, the overall similarity for a pair of text expressions is computed using an aggregation function of these individual semantic similarity values. This aggregation is often computed by means of statistical functions. In this work, we present CoTO (Consensus or Trade-Off) a solution based on fuzzy logic that is able to outperform these traditional approaches.

Research Problems

Estimating the semantic similarity between text data is one of the challenging and open research problems in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP). The versatility of natural language makes it difficult to define rule-based methods for determining semantic similarity measures. To address this issue, various semantic similarity methods have been proposed over the years. This survey article traces the evolution of such methods beginning from traditional NLP techniques such as kernel-based methods to the most recent research work on transformer-based models, categorizing them based on their underlying principles as knowledge-based, corpus-based, deep neural network–based methods, and hybrid methods. Discussing the strengths and weaknesses of each method, this survey provides a comprehensive view of existing systems in place for new researchers to experiment and develop innovative ideas to address the issue of semantic similarity.

Merging Algorithms

The merging procedures of two ontologies are mostly related to the enrichment of one of the input ontologies, i.e. the knowledge of the aligned concepts from one ontology are copied into the other ontology. As a consequence, the resulting new ontology extends the original knowledge of the base ontology, but the unaligned concepts of the other ontology are not considered in the new extended ontology. On the other hand, there are experts-aided semi-automatic approaches to accomplish the task of including the knowledge that is left out from the resulting merged ontology and debugging the possible concept redundancy. With the aim of facing the posed necessity of including all the knowledge of the ontologies to be merged without redundancy, this article proposes an automatic approach for merging ontologies, which is based on semantic similarity measures and exhaustive searching along of the closest concepts. The authors' approach was compared to other merging algorithms, and good results are obtained in terms of completeness, relationships and properties, without creating redundancy.
