We create similarity vectors from two-skip trigrams of preprocessed tweets and measure their semantic similarity using our UMBC-STS system. We submitted two runs. The best result is ranked eleventh out of eighteen teams with F1 score of 0.599.5 pagesen-USThis item is likely protected under Title 17 of the U.S. Copyright Law.
