  abstract  = {This paper describes the SimBow system submitted at SemEval2017-Task3, for the
	question-question similarity subtask B. The proposed approach is a supervised
	combination of different unsupervised textual similarities. These textual
	similarities rely on the introduction of a relation matrix in the classical
	cosine similarity between bag-of-words, so as to get a soft-cosine that takes
	into account relations between words. According to the type of relation matrix
	embedded in the soft-cosine, semantic or lexical relations can be considered.
	Our system ranked first among the official submissions of subtask B.},
