[Corpora-List] software semantic similarity between texts

[J Washtell]

Dom,

It's not software as such, but you might find it interesting to take a  
look at Kireyev (2008) "Beyond words: Semantic Representation of Text  
in Distributional Models of Language", in Proceedings of the ESSLLI  
2008 Lexical Semantics Workshop:
