Title

¬A distance and angle similarity measure method

Source

Journal of the American Society for Information Science. 50(1999) no.9, S.772-778

Year

1999

Abstract

This article presents a distance and angle similarity measure. The integrated similarity measure takes the strenghts of both the distance and direction of measured documents into account. This article analyzes the features of the similarity measure by comparing it with the traditional distance-based similarity measure and the cosine measure, providing the iso-similarity contour, investigating the impacts of the parameters and variables on the new similarity measure. It also gives the further research issues on the topic
