Node-based Semantic Similarity Measure
(Redirected from node-based measure)
A Node-based Semantic Similarity Measure is a Topological Semantic Similarity Measure that calculates the similarity between ontological concepts based on the information content of the nodes in a semantic network.
- AKA: Content-based Semantic Similarity Measure.
- Example(s):
- Alignment-based Similarity Measure (Pilehvar et al., 2013),
- Bodenreider-Aubry-Burgun Semantic Similarity Measure (Bodenreider et al. 2008),
- XOA Semantic Similarity Measure, (Riensche et al. 2007),
- SimRel-FunSim (Schlicker et al. 2006),
- GraSM (Couto et al., 2005),
- Generalized Lin's Semantic Ontology Term Similarity Measure (Maguitman et al., 2005),
- Lin's Semantic Similarity Measure (Lin, 1998),
- Jiang-Conrath Node-based Semantic Similarity Measure (Jiang & Conrath, 1997),
- Resnik's Semantic Similarity Measure (Resnik, 1995),
- …

- There are essentially two types of approaches that calculate topological similarity between ontological concepts:
- Edge-based: which use the edges and their types as the data source;
- Node-based: in which the main data sources are the nodes and their properties.
- Other measures calculate the similarity between ontological instances:
- Pairwise: measure functional similarity between two instances by combining the semantic similarities of the concepts they represent
- Groupwise: calculate the similarity directly not combining the semantic similarities of the concepts they represent

- QUOTE: Concerning the comparison between individual ontology terms, the two types of approaches reviewed by Pesquita et al. (2009) are similar to those proposed by Blanchard et al. (2008), namely the edge-based measures which rely on counting edges in the graph, and node-based measures which exploit information contained in the considered term, its descendants and its parents.
In most edge-based measures, the Shortest Path-Length (SPL) is used as a distance measure between two terms in a graph.

- QUOTE: Node-based approaches rely on comparing the properties of the terms involved, which can be related to the terms themselves, their ancestors, or their descendants. One concept commonly used in these approaches is information content (IC), which gives a measure how specific and informative a term is. The IC of a term $c$ can be quantified as the negative log likelihood, $-\log p(c)$
where $p(c)$ is the probability of occurrence of $c$ in a specific corpus (such as the UniProt Knowledgebase), being normally estimated by its frequency of annotation. Alternatively, the IC can also be calculated from the number of children a term has in the GO structure[1], although this approach is less commonly used.
