Hi Ted,
Thank you for your
answer, I've fixed the config-lesk file to work as desired.
I tried also to use the
vector measure as well, and used the files in /utils to build a compound nouns
file and a vector db file,
However, it works awfully
slow – do you have any idea how to enhance that?
Best,
Yael

measure
Hi Yael,
The lesk measure has a number of options that are
controlled via its
configuration file, and if you have your
configuration file set
differently, or aren't using one, then the results
from the measure will
likely be different.
The most important configuration options for lesk
are probably the
relations file (which determines which relations
you use in carrying
out the gloss matching) and the stoplist (which
removes stop words
from the glosses).
In the web interface we use the stoplist as
provided with
WordNet-Similarity in the sample files, and we
also use the relation file
as provided (which uses all synsets within one
"link" of the target
synsets regardless of the type of relations).
So, I suspect you may be using a different set of
relations, or maybe not
using a stoplist? One way to get a quick sense of
what the differences
between your system and the web interface might be
by looking at the
traces. The effect of using (or not) a stoplist or
different relations is
usually pretty extreme.
Let us know if this doesn't explain the
differences, or if you'd like more
information about how the configuration options
are set in the web
interface!
Cordially,
Ted
