In this paper, we propose a method based on Laplacian eigenmaps to measure semantic similarity between words. First, we attach semantic features to each word. Second, a similarity matrix ,which semantic features are encoded into, is calculated in the original high-dimensional space. Finally, with the aid of Laplacian eigenmaps, we recalculate the similarities in the target low-dimensional space. The experiment on the Miller-Charles benchmark shows that the similarity measurement in the low-dimensional space achieves a correlation coefficient of 0.812, in contrast with the correlation coefficient of 0.683 calculated in the high-dimensional space, implying a significant improvement of 18.9%. %G English %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01060365/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01060365/file/WuCWW10.pdf %L hal-01060365 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01060365 %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-AICT %~ IFIP-AICT-340 %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-TC12 %~ IFIP-IIP
