Finding the most similar textual documents using Case-Based Reasoning

Source code for the paper:

Marko Mihajlovic and Ning Xiong. Finding the most similar textual documents using case-based reasoning., arXiv preprint arXiv:1911.00262 (2019).

In recent years, huge amounts of unstructured textual data on the Internet are a big difficulty for AI algorithms to provide the best recommendations for users and their search queries. Since the Internet became widespread, a lot of research has been done in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and machine learning. Almost every solution transforms documents into Vector Space Models (VSM) in order to apply AI algorithms over them. One such approach is based on Case-Based Reasoning (CBR). Therefore, the most important part of those systems is to compute the similarity between numerical data points. In 2016, the new similarity TS-SS metric is proposed, which showed state-of-the-art results in the field of textual mining for unsupervised learning. However, no one before has investigated its performances for supervised learning (classification task). In this work, we devised a CBR system capable of finding the most similar documents for a given query aiming to investigate performances of the new state-of-the-art metric, TS-SS, in addition to the two other geometrical similarity measures --- Euclidean distance and Cosine similarity --- that showed the best predictive results over several benchmark corpora. The results show surprising inappropriateness of TS-SS measure for high dimensional features.
