We are pleased to announce the release of WordNet-Similarity 1.02. You can download this version from either CPAN or sourceforge:
http://search.cpan.org/dist/WordNet-Similarity/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/wn-similarity The major change in this release is the inclusion of a utility program rankFormat.pl that allows for creating rankings of the output of similarity.pl such that correlation can be measured using the rank.pl program found in the Ngram Statistics Package (available from http://ngram.sourceforge.net ) When comparing the output from different measures, sometimes users are tempted to try and compare correlation based on the scores from the measures. In general this is not the best idea, since the measures often operate on rather different scales. So rankFormat.pl will allow you to make comparisons based on the relative rankings of similarity judgements found across multiple measures. There were also a few small bug fixes in this release. See the ChangeLog below for additional information. Enjoy! Ted and Sid, ======================================================================= Version 1.02 02/06/06 (1) Added utility rankFormat.pl for ranking the output of similarity.pl and making the output suitable for input to rank.pl (to compute Spearman's correlation coefficient) of the Text::NSP package. (Sid) 01/15/06 (1) Fixed issue in lesk.pm where undefined values for $wc1 and $wc2 caused errors with the normalize option. (Sid) (2) Fixed minor UI issues in wnDepths.pl.
