This package consists of Perl modules along with supporting Perl programs that implement the semantic relatedness measures described by Leacock Chodorow (1998), Jiang Conrath (1997), Resnik (1995), Lin (1998), Hirst St Onge (1998) and the adapted gloss overlap measure by Banerjee and Pedersen (2002). The Perl modules are designed as object classes with methods that take as input two word senses. The semantic relatedness of these word senses is returned by these methods. A quantitative measure of the degree to which two word senses are related has wide ranging applications in numerous areas, such as word sense disambiguation, information retrieval, etc. For example, in order to determine which sense of a given word is being used in a particular context, the sense having the highest relatedness with its context word senses is most likely to be the sense being used. Similarly, in information retrieval, retrieving documents containing highly related concepts are more likely to have higher precision and recall values. A command line interface to these modules is also present in the package. The simple, user-friendly interface returns the relatedness measure of two given words. A number of switches and options have been provided to modify the output and enhance it with trace information and other useful output. Details of the usage are provided in other sections of this README. Supporting utilities for generating information content files from various corpora are also available in the package. The information content files are required by three of the measures for computing the relatedness of concepts.
