Keyword(s): Relationship Extraction, Wikipedia.

Abstract: What is the relationship between terms? Document analysis tells us that ”Crime” is close to ”Victim” and not so close to ”Banana”. While for common terms like Sun and Light the nature of the relationship is clear, the measure becomes more fuzzy when dealing with more uncommonly used terms and concepts and partial information. Semantic relatedness is typically calculated from an encyclopedia like Wikipedia, but Wikipedia contains a lot of information that is not common knowledge. So, when a computer calculates that Belarus and Ukraine are closely related, what does it mean to me as a human? In this paper, we take a look at perceived relationship and qualify it in a human-readable way. The result is a search engine, designed to take two terms and explain how they relate to each other. We evaluate this through a user study which gauges how useful this extra information is to humans when making a judgment about relationships.
