We are pleased to announce the release of version 0.14 of WordNet-Similarity. This marks the re-inclusion of the vector measure into the package! Note that there are now two vector-style measures in the package, vector_pairs, and now vector (which was present in versions previous to 0.13).
You can download this new release from: http://search.cpan.org/dist/WordNet-Similarity/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/wn-similarity The distinction between the two vector-style measures is generally simple to explain. The vector measure builds one large context vector for each concept that is based on a "super gloss", which is the concatentation of the gloss of the concept and the glosses of any nearby concepts (as specified in the vector-relation.dat file). The vector_pair measure does not concatentate all the glosses together, but rather builds a vector for each gloss, and then averages those together to create the overall representation of the context. There are of course many details about these techniques, but this is the gist of the difference between vector and vector_pairs. In addition, this release fixes a few problems that existed in the test scripts due to old references to the LCSFinder module (which no longer exists after the 0.13 rewrite). Please let us know if you have any questions about vector or vector_pairs, or anything else you might find in 0.14!
