  • ABSTRACT: Five different proposed measures of similarity or semantic distance in WordNet were experimentally compared by examining their performance in a real-word spelling correction system. It was found that Jiang and Conrath’smeasure gave the best results overall. That of Hirst and St-Onge seriously over-related, that of Resnik seriously under-related, and those of Lin and of Leacock and Chodorow fell in between.

  • QUOTE: … it is becoming clear that while the knowledge used in interpreting natural language is broad, the reasoning is shallow. Although we can’t yet characterize it precisely, it seems to be pretty much limited to reasoning about quite simple commonsense knowledge: knowledge of kinds, of associations, of typical situations, and even typical utterances.
