Stsmodule

STSModule (Semantic Textual Similarity Module) aims at helping users computing the semantic similarity between sentences and documents in English. Similarity measures play an important role in a wide variety of NLP applications. By a way of example, Information Retrieval (IR) relies on semantic similarity in order to determine the best result for a related query. Semantic similarity also plays a crucial role in other applications such as Paraphrasing and Translation Memory (TM). However, computing semantic similarity between sentences and documents remains a complex and difficult task. As an attempt to fulfil this gap, STSModule aims at offering the user with a simple, yet very efficient approach to compute semantic similarity by combining semantic resources with statistical methods.
