The responses are typically short sentences. Assessing short sentences for similarity with the expected answer is a challenge for Artificial Intelligence. Unlike long paragraphs, short texts lacks the adequate and accurate semantic information. Existing algorithms don{\^a}??t work well for short texts due to insufficient semantic information. This Paper provides the state of art on semantic similarity{\^A} techniques and proposed the research framework to enhance the accuracy of short texts. {\^A}{\copyright} 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.}, author = {Amur, Z.
