Abstract Thanks to the idea of social collaboration, Wikipedia has accumulated vast amount of semistructured knowledge in which the link structure re?ects human’s cognition on semantic relationship to some extent. In this paper, we proposed a novel method RCRank to jointly compute conceptconcept relatedness and concept-category relatedness base on the assumption that information carried in concept-concept links and concept-category links can mutually reinforce each other. Different from previous work, RCRank can not only ?nd semantically related concepts but also interpret their relations by categories. Experimental results on concept recommendation and relation interpretation show that our method substantially outperforms classical methods.
