@inproceedings{agirre2009study, abstract = {This paper presents and compares WordNet-based and distributional similarity approaches. The strengths and weaknesses of each approach regarding similarity and relatedness tasks are discussed, and a combination is presented. Each of our methods independently provide the best results in their class on the RG and WordSim353 datasets, and a supervised combination of them yields the best published results on all datasets. Finally, we pioneer cross-lingual similarity, showing that our methods are easily adapted for a cross-lingual task with minor losses.}, acmid = {1620758}, address = {Stroudsburg, PA, USA}, author = {Agirre, Eneko and Alfonseca, Enrique and Hall, Keith and Kravalova, Jana and Pa\c{s}ca, Marius and Soroa, Aitor}, booktitle = {Proceedings of Human Language Technologies: The 2009 Annual Conference of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics}, interhash = {35326b1cfd5cde92744c22b981c84b23}, intrahash = {e91cce045a1d323c0012027f04771733}, isbn = {978-1-932432-41-1}, location = {Boulder, Colorado}, numpages = {9}, pages = {19--27}, publisher = {Association for Computational Linguistics}, series = {NAACL '09}, title = {A study on similarity and relatedness using distributional and WordNet-based approaches}, url = {http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1620754.1620758}, year = 2009 }
