HSim: A novel method on similarity computation by hybrid measure

Link similarity is widely applied in measuring the similarity between objects, e.g., web pages, scientific papers and social networks. However, there are a lot of drawbacks in existing methods of measuring link similarity. In brief, these methods can not handle some semantic-similar content. Moreover, the computation of them are not accurate in some scenes. In this paper, we present a novel method of measuring link similarity called HSim. It introduces the semantic similarity to calculate the similarity between objects, and overcomes the drawback that existing methods ignore the semantic information of objects. We also develop a novel computation function to make the result of similarity more accurate.
