Abstract

Owing to the tremendous increase in the number and the length of the text documents, there is a need to locate the needed information in large set of text documents. Locating desired information finds its application in tasks such as information retrieval, question answering, event extraction, etc. The basic operation required to do the above is finding how similar the sentences are in a particular context. This manuscript explains a feature-based machine learning approach to find the semantic similarity between a pair of short sentences. It includes the features such as string match, part of speech, word sense, length difference, negation and modality, etc. Our approach employs dissimilarity features and similarity features to detect sentence similarity.
