Abstract  

Based on the analysis of recent related literatures and projects, the paper concludes the term semantic measure methods as follows: similarity measure methods based on corpus characters and similarity measure methods based on open knowledge resources. And then it reviews the integration methods of multi-measure methods. It also summarizes the applications of term semantic similarity measure methods on the area of Natural Language Process (NLP) and Knowledge Mining (KM). Finally, the future development of research on term similarity measure is discussed to help build more efficient term similarity calculation system.

Key wordsTerm semantic similarity      Similarity measure      Phrase similarity
