Evaluating wordnet-based measures of lexical semantic relatedness

- psu.edu [PDF] 
A Budanitsky, G Hirst - Computational Linguistics, 2006 - MIT Press
The quantification of lexical semantic relatedness has many applications in NLP, and many different
measures have been proposed. We evaluate five of these measures, all of which use WordNet
as their central resource, by comparing their performance in detecting and correcting real- ...

Dependency-based construction of semantic space models

- psu.edu [PDF] 
S Padó, M Lapata - Computational Linguistics, 2007 - MIT Press
Traditionally, vector-based semantic space models use word co-occurrence counts from large
corpora to represent lexical meaning. In this article we present a novel framework for
construct- ing semantic spaces that takes syntactic relations into account. We introduce a ...
