Measuring the similarity between documents is an important operation in the text processing field. In this paper, a new similarity measure is proposed. To compute the similarity between two documents with respect to a feature, the proposed measure takes the following three cases into account The feature appears in both documents, the feature appears in only one document, and the feature appears in none of the documents. For the first case, the similarity increases as the difference between the two involved feature values decreases. Furthermore, the contribution of the difference is normally scaled.
