A RUFINO Semantic Word Similarity System is a Multilingual and Cross-lingual Semantic Word Similarity System that is based on pointwise mutual information approach, on Jaccard distance, and on Polyglot's word embeddings.
- Context:
- It was the 4rd best performing semantic word similarity system in the global ranking of SemEval-2017 Task 2 with a score of 0.555.
- It was built by Jimenez et al. (2017) inspired by the Swadesh's list.
- Example(s):
- …
- Counter-Example(s):
- See: SemEval, SemEval-2017 Task, Semantic Word Similarity Benchmark Task, Semantic Textual Similarity Benchmark Task, Semantic Similarity Modelling System, Semantic Similarity Measure, Semantic Relatedness Measure.
