Popis: Semantic similarity evaluation is used in various fields such as question-and-answering and plagiarism testing, and many studies have been conducted into this problem. In previous studies using neural networks to evaluate semantic similarity, similarity has been measured using global information of sentence pairs. However, since sentences do not only have one meaning but a variety of meanings, using only global information can have a negative effect on performance improvement. Therefore, in this study, we propose a model that uses global information and local information simultaneously to evaluate the semantic similarity of sentence pairs. The proposed model can adjust whether to focus more on global information or local information through a weight parameter. As a result of the experiment, the proposed model can show that the accuracy is higher than existing models that use only global information.
