We have just published a new dataset of 999 concept pairs rated by 500
annotators for semantic similarity (beer, ale), as distinct from relatedness
(beer, drink).

It is intended to provide a challenging benchmark for the evaluation of
representation and embedding-learning language models. It should also be of
interest to psycholinguistics and cognitive scientists interested in
representation and conceptual concreteness.

For more information, and to download the dataset, visit:

Please cite the following paper if you use the dataset in your research:

(Genuine) Similarity Estimation. 2014. Preprint published on arXiv.
