[ACT-R-users] Measures of semantic distance

[Wayne Gray]

Friends,

For those of you new to the topic of measures of 
semantic distance (MSDs) I can recommend a short 
and very well-written discussion of how the major 
systems differ:

Lemaire, B., & Denhiére, G. (2004). Incremental 
construction of an associative network from a 
corpus. In K. D. Forbus & D. Gentner & T. Regier 
(Eds.), 26th Annual Meeting of the Cognitive 
Science Society, CogSci2004. Hillsdale, NJ: 
Lawrence Erlbaum Publisher.


There is also a very nice introduction to PMI-IR 
written by Peter D. Turney and published as a 
Lecture Note inn Computer Science. "Mining the 
Web for synonyms: PMI-IR versus LSA on TOEFL."

Unfortunately I do not have the complete citation on this one.

If you just have formalisms or a model you are 
doing "operations research" or" AI", if you just 
have data and a good study you are doing 
"experimental psychology", and if you just have 
ideas you are doing "philosophy" -- it takes all 
three to do cognitive science.
