A Knowledge-Rich Approach to Measuring the Similarity between Bulgarian and Russian Words (RANLP2009 Workshop)
Scientific article: We propose a novel knowledge-rich approach to measuring the similarity between a pair of words. The algorithm is tailored to Bulgarian and Russian and takes into account the orthographic and the phonetic correspondences between the two Slavic languages: it combines lemmatization, hand-crafted transforma-tion rules, and weighted Levenshtein distance. The experimental results show an 11-pt interpolated average precision of 90.58%, which represents a sizeable improvement over two classic rivaling approaches.
