Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In this paper, we proposed a language-independent method to measure similarity between short texts written in different languages by unifying the language space using Wikipedia. In recent years, immediacy and locality of information dissemination have been regarded as important, and people around the world have been continuously transmitting information about their local area in their own languages. However, measuring similarity between these texts is difficult because they are short and written in various languages. Our method solves this problem by representing short texts written in any languages using the vector of a certain language Wikipedia articles. From the experimental results, we confirmed that our method significantly outperformed comparative methods.
