abstract = {Five different proposed measures of similarity or semantic
distance in WordNet were experimentally compared by examining their
performance in a real-word spelling correction system. It was found
that Jiang and Conrath's measure gave the best results overall. That
of Hirst and St-Onge seriously over-related, that of Resnik seriously
under-related, and those of Lin and of Leacock and Chodorow fell in
between.},
