ABSTRACT

Aiming at the problem that the existing Chinese word similarity calculation research does not make full use of the three major factors of Chinese characters: pronunciation, radical and semantic, this paper proposes a Chinese Word Similarity Model with Pronunciation, Radical and Semantic Embedding. This model uses the distributed representation to learn the pronunciation embeddings, radical embeddings and semantic embeddings of Chinese characters or words, and then interactively measures the semantic similarity of these Chinese factors. Finally, it uses the ridge regression to fuse these similarities to obtain the similarity of the words. The experimental results on Word-Sim297 corpus show the effectiveness of the proposed model.
