The Word-Based Pyramid Method
Abstract
The comparison of human and machine generated descriptions is a problem confronting the document-understanding community and other researchers developing systems that output natural language. An investigator often wants to know how similar a machine description is to a human description. By assuming the message can be portrayed by a bag of words, it is possible to automate model formulation and then evaluate descriptions. Based on the study performed, the word-based pyramid method provides a useful tool for the quantification of verbal similarity.
