Comparison of the three term similarity measures. Semantic similarity vs. sequence similarity results using Resnik's (in red), Lin's (in green), and Jiang and Conrath's (in blue) measures with the BMA approach: A - in the full dataset with the LRBS sequence similarity metric; B - in the non-electronic dataset with the LRBS metric; C - in the full dataset with the RRBS metric; D - in the non-electronic dataset with the RRBS metric. These results show that the absolute semantic similarity values increase but the resolution decreases from Resnik's to Lin's to Jiang and Conrath's measures. The same relationship was observed using the maximum, average, and GraSM approaches.
