Syntactic Similarity Measure

A Syntactic Similarity Measure is a similarity measure between syntactic representations (that approximates a relationship between two or more syntactic representations).

• AKA: Syntactic Relatedness.
• Context:
  • range: Syntactic Similarity Score.
  • It can range from being a Linguistic Syntactic Similarity Measure (such as sentence similarity) to being a Program Syntactic Similarity Measure.
  • It can range from being a Symmetric Syntactic Similarity Measure to being a Non-Symmetric Syntactic Similarity Measure.
  • It can be computed by a Syntactic Similarity Measure Computation Operation.
• Example(s):
  • a Sentence Syntactic Similarity Measure.
  • a Tweet Syntactic Similarity Measure.
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):
  • a Syntactic Similarity Measure.
  • a Semantic Dissimilarity Measure.
• See: Similarity Matrix, Clustering Task, Local Search.
