Building and Evaluating a Distributional Memory for Croatian
Jan Šnajder, Sebastian Padó, Żeljko Agić · Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics · 2013
We report on the first structured distributional semantic model for Croatian, DM.HR. It is constructed after the model of the English Distributional Memory (Baroni and Lenci, 2010), from a dependencyparsed Croatian web corpus, and covers about 2M lemmas. We give details on the linguistic processing and the design principles. An evaluation shows state-of-theart performance on a semantic similarity task with particularly good performance on nouns. The resource is freely available.
