• Abstract: Similarity is a comparative-subjective measure that varies with the domain within which it is considered. In several NLP applications such as document classification, pattern recognition, chatbot question-answering, sentiment analysis, etc., identifying an accurate similarity score for sentence pairs has become a crucial area of research. In the existing models that assess similarity, the limitation of effectively computing this similarity based on contextual comparisons, the localization due to the centering theory, and the lack of non-semantic textual comparisons have proven to be drawbacks. Hence, this paper presents a multi-layered semantic similarity network model built upon multiple similarity measures that render an overall sentence similarity score based on the principles of Network Science, neighboring weighted relational edges, and a proposed extended node similarity computation formula. The proposed multi-layered network model was evaluated and tested against established state-of-the-art models and is shown to have demonstrated better performance scores in assessing sentence similarity.

  Quantifying the degree of similarity between images is a key copyright issue for image-based machine learning. We seek to define and compute a notion of "conceptual similarity" among images that captures high-level relations. Two highly dissimilar images can be discriminated early in their description, whereas conceptually dissimilar ones will need more detail to be distinguished.

• Semantic similarity prediction is better than other semantic similarity measures [5.176134438571082]
  We argue that when we are only interested in measuring the semantic similarity, it is better to directly predict the similarity using a fine-tuned model for such a task. Using a fine-tuned model for the Semantic Textual Similarity Benchmark tasks (STS-B) from the GLUE benchmark, we define the STSScore approach and show that the resulting similarity is better aligned with our expectations on a robust semantic similarity measure than other approaches.

  We study the mechanisms between taxonomic and distributional similarity measures. We find that taxonomic similarity measures can depend on the shortest path length as a prime factor to predict semantic similarity. The synergy of retrofitting neural embeddings with concept relations in similarity prediction may indicate a new trend to leverage knowledge bases on transfer learning.

  This paper proposes an attributable visual similarity learning (AVSL) framework for a more accurate and explainable similarity measure between images. Motivated by the human semantic similarity cognition, we propose a generalized similarity learning paradigm to represent the similarity between two images with a graph. Experiments on the CUB-200-2011, Cars196, and Stanford Online Products datasets demonstrate significant improvements over existing deep similarity learning methods.
