This article presents the experiments carried out at Jadavpur University as part of the participation in Semantic Textual Similarity (STS) of Task 6 @ Semantic Evaluation Exercises (SemEval-2012). Task-6 of SemEval- 2012 focused on semantic relations of text pair. Task-6 provides five different text pair files to compare different semantic relations and judge these relations through a similarity and confidence score. Similarity score is one kind of multi way classification in the form of grade between 0 to 5. We have submitted one run for the STS task. Our system has two basic modules - one deals with lexical relations and another deals with dependency based syntactic relations of the text pair. Similarity score given to a pair is the average of the scores of the above-mentioned modules. The scores from each module are identified using rule based techniques. The Pearson Correlation of our system in the task is 0.3880.
