We present a novel approach that allows similarities to be asymmetric while still using only information contained in the structure of the ontology. We show through experiments on the WordNet and GeneOntology that the new approach achieves better accuracy than existing techniques.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2007/87","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2007/0087.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2007/87.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2007/bibtex/87","volume":{"slug":"2007","title":"Proceedings of the Twentieth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 2007","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2007/","year":2007,"location":"Hyderabad, India","dates":"","editors":"Ramon López de Mántaras","isbn":"","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":null,"track":"","number":87,"pages":{"first":551,"last":555},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
