Ebiquity: Paraphrase and Semantic Similarity in Twitter using Skipgram

Taneeya W. Satyapanich, Hang W. Gao, and Tim Finin

June 4, 2015

We describe the system we developed to participate in SemEval 2015 Task 1, Paraphrase and Semantic Similarity in Twitter. We create similarity vectors from two-skip trigrams of preprocessed tweets and measure their semantic similarity using our UMBC-STS system. We submitted two runs. The best result is ranked eleventh out of eighteen teams with F1 score of 0.599.
