[Corpora-List] wordlist-similarity tools in Java?

[Mark A. Greenwood]

Hi,

We've developed a Java bridge to the perl WordNet similarity package 
which can be found at http://nlp.shef.ac.uk/result/software.html

it can be a bit tricky to set up but once working allows you to use the 
Perl libraries easily from Java. I'm currently in the middle of writing 
a pure Java version of the similarity measures which should be a 
drop-in-replacement for our existing package when it's finished. 
Although as yet I don't know when that will be.

Hope that is of some help,

Mark
