We are pleased to announce the release of version 0.83 of SenseClusters. We have made a larger version increment than usual (from 0.73 to 0.83) to make the point that there is significant new functionality in the package as of 0.83. You can download this new version from:
http://www.d.umn.edu/~tpederse/senseclusters.html or http://senseclusters.sourceforge.net In particular, we have incorporated support for automatically identifying the number of clusters in a given data set. There are three methods provided, and they are described more completely in the following paper that will appear at EACL (in conjunction with a demo) in April: Selecting the "Right" Number of Senses Based on Clustering Criterion Functions (Pedersen and Kulkarni), To appear in the Proceedings of the Posters and Demo Program of the Eleventh Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics, April 3-7, 2006, Trento, Italy. http://www.d.umn.edu/~tpederse/Pubs/eacl2006-demo.pdf You can also try out this new functionality on our web interface, available at: http://marimba.d.umn.edu/cgi-bin/SC-cgi/index.cgi Please do give this a try. This is a very significant enhancement to the package. Your comments are particularly welcome as we seek to improve and expand our ability to automatically identify the number of clusters in a given set of data.
