A Scalable Approach for Computing Semantic Relatedness using Semantic Web Data

Abstract

Computing semantic relatedness is an essential operation for many natural language processing (NLP) tasks, such as Entity Linking (EL) and Question Answering (QA). It is still challenging to find a scalable approach to compute the semantic relatedness using Semantic Web data. Hence, we present for the first time an approach to pre-compute the semantic relatedness between the instances, relations, and classes of an ontology, such that they can be used in real-time applications.
