[Corpora-List] Call for Participation-Semantic SimilarityExperiment

[Ted Pedersen]

Greetings all,

In addition to the work already mentioned on verb similarity, there is
some earlier work that is quite good on the same topic. It includes I
believe 30 verb pairs in the final analysis, and there is quite a bit
of discussion about how the human ratings were collected, etc. I can't
say if the human ratings are available or not, but this paper is
surely required reading if you love verb similarity. :)

Resnik, Philip and Mona Diab, Measuring Verb Similarity, Cognitive
Science Society (CogSci2000), 2000.

I don't *think* the 30 verb pairs above are included in the 130 verb
pairs below, if not, that makes 160. :)

Enjoy,
Ted
