The approach does not require any type of training, since it exploits only WordNet to devise the implicit semantic links between text words. The paper presents a prototype on-line demo of the measure, that can provide word-to-word relatedness values, even for words of different part of speech. In addition the demo allows for the computation of relatedness between text segments.}, identifier = {05617205}, }
