  abstract = { This paper presents the results of using Roget's International Thesaurus as the taxonomy in a semantic similarity measurement task. Four similarity metrics were taken from the literature and applied to Roget's The experimental evaluation suggests that the traditional edge counting approach does surprisingly well (a correlation of r=0.88 with a benchmark set of human similarity judgements, with an upper bound of r=0.90 for human subjects performing the same task.)},

  abstract = {Roget’s Thesaurus is a lexical resource which groups terms by semantic relatedness. It is Roget’s shortcoming that the relations are ambiguous, in that it does not name them; it only shows that there is a relation between terms. Our work focuses on disambiguating hypernym relations within Roget’s Thesaurus. Several techniques of identifying hypernym relations are compared and contrasted in this paper, and a total of over 50,000 hypernym relations have been disambiguated within Roget’s. Human judges have evaluated the quality of our disambiguation techniques, and we have demonstrated on several applications the usefulness of the disambiguated relations.},
