This is probably a typo, but in case I had misspoken, about 56,000 out of
59,000 compounds in WN1.7 had one sense each.

In general, I think it will be interesting to see whether we can use
features of the input pair of senses to choose from a variety of semantic
measures. Can we find classes of senses (or sense pairs) that some measures
routinely do better at? What features of senses do we need to create these
classes? Why are certain measures better at some classes and not at others?
Can we make the appropriate choice of measures under different user defined
speed/accuracy trade offs? I think there's at least one masters' thesis
along these avenues; Ted? :-)

I thoroughly enjoyed today's meeting with Jason, Prath, Anagha, Apurva, and
you Ted. I hope to do this again in the near future! Thanks for bearing with
my questions!

Thanks!
Bano
