Research projects
Project 1 (MTech): Measuring similarity of text using WordNet
In text processing the usual way to treat the text is just as a bag of words.  Various different statistical measures are applied on these to measure the similarity of two texts. Two texts are said to be similar if they share a large percentage of words contained in them. Phenomena like synonymy and polysemy in the language makes this  quite error prone. This project looked at how these difficulties can be overcome by including the semantics of the language into the similarity measurement. WordNet was used as a means to achieve this.
