“…Within the semantic similarity approaches, as for instance the one recently presented in [47] for Neural Networks, or hybrid similarity measures combining the shortest path lengths and the depths of subsumers [30], below we restrict our attention to the methods based on the information content [14], [33], Formal Concept Analysis [13], [43], IFCA (Formal Concept Analysis with Interval Type-2 Fuzzy sets) [15], Geographical Information Systems [16], [40], and different application domains, such as health [1], [24], and network security [44], just to mention a few examples. However the IC approach, although recognized as "the state of the art on semantic similarity" [3], [8], has shown some limitations, as discussed below.…”
