Abstract

A method and device for determining semantic similarity between two character strings are disclosed. The two character strings are segmented into sequences of words or phrases which represent the correlation between the characters. Edit distance from the first sequence to the second sequence is calculated based on a predetermined algorithm. A minimum semantic distance is then determined from the edit distance by considering the word/phrase pairs appearing in both sequences and the relationship between the cost of the various operations performed to convert the first sequence into the second sequence. The semantic similarity between the two character strings is then determined and normalized from the minimum semantic distance.
