Abstract

Similarity is an important and widely used concept in many applications such as Document Summarisation, Question Answering, Information Retrieval, Document Clustering and Categorisation. This paper presents a comparison of various similarity measures in comparing the content of text documents. We have attempted to find the best measure suited for finding the document similarity for newspaper reports. © 2008 iKMS & World Scientific Publishing Co.
