== Terminology == The concept of '''semantic similarity''' is more specific than '''semantic relatedness''', as the latter includes concepts as [[antonymy]] and [[meronymy]], while similarity does not.<ref name="budanitsky2001">{{Cite journal |last1 = Budanitsky|first1 = Alexander|last2 = Hirst|first2 = Graeme|place = Pittsburgh|year = 2001|title = Semantic distance in WordNet: An experimental, application-oriented evaluation of five measures|journal = Workshop on WordNet and Other Lexical Resources, Second Meeting of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics|url = https://ftp.cs.toronto.edu/pub/gh/Budanitsky+Hirst-2001.pdf}}</ref> However, much of the literature uses these terms interchangeably, along with terms like semantic distance. In essence, semantic similarity, semantic distance, and semantic relatedness all mean, "How much does term A have to do with term B?" The answer to this question is usually a number between β1 and 1, or between 0 and 1, where 1 signifies extremely high similarity.
