Hello All.
Say I have website that has articles on clothes, and I allow people to
tag each article. (Unlimited vocabulary). I wish to recognize which
words are being used as synonyms.
For example:
(I make the additional restriction that every person must tag the
article with two tags.)
Art1 (an opinion on shoes in winter)
WinterSeason, Shoes
: Shoes, Fashion
: opinion, Winter, etc
Art2: (Shoes and Gloves)
: shoes, gloves
: accessories, gloves
: footwear gloves, etc...
Art3: (Jackets in winter)
:Jackets, winter, etc.
Now, if I were to do a search on "footwear", I would come up with
Art2, and not Art1.
Is there any algorithm that will recognise that a search of "footwear"
and "shoes" should return the same set.
I have a feeling that some kind of conditional probability calculation
should be used. i.e. P("footwear")|P("shoes") / P("footwear")
Thoughts, or any direction to go from here?
Regards,
Timbo
