[Corpora] [Corpora-List] Phrase similarity

[Yannick Versley]

Alexander,

take_care and give_up should have individual entries in a resource such as
WordNet,
arguably they are more multiword items (single unit of meaning) than
phrases (multiple
meaning-bearing units combined). In that case, neither Mitchell&Lapata nor
ADW will
do you any good.

Handling of multiword items is simple enough to build into the usual
approaches for
distributional similarity by treating them as one item, e.g. word2vec can
use a list
of fixed phrases. (With verb particles or light verbs, it's slightly more
complicated if you want to
turn "He took great care of his aunt" into "He take_care great of his
aunt", also the
modifier 'great' is left dangling when you pretend the light verb
construction is really
one verb).

Best,
Yannick
