Subject: The DURel Annotation Tool: Human and Computational Measurement of Semantic Proximity, Sense Clusters and Semantic Change


The DURel tool implements the annotation of semantic proximity between
word uses into an online, open source interface [1]. The tool supports
standardized human annotation as well as computational annotation,
building on recent advances with Word-in-Context models. Annotator
judgments are clustered with automatic graph clustering techniques and
visualized for analysis. This allows to measure word senses with
simple and intuitive micro-task judgments between use pairs, requiring
minimal preparation efforts. The tool offers additional
functionalities to compare the agreement between annotators to
guarantee the inter-subjectivity of the obtained judgments and to
calculate summary statistics over the annotated data giving insights
into sense frequency distributions, semantic variation or changes of
senses over time.
