Improving Reliability of Word Similarity Evaluation by Redesigning Annotation Task and Performance Measure

11 Nov 2016WS 2016 8arXiv:1611.03641archive 2025-07-28

Oded Avraham, Yoav Goldberg

We suggest a new method for creating and using gold-standard datasets for word similarity evaluation. Our goal is to improve the reliability of the evaluation, and we do this by redesigning the annotation task to achieve higher inter-rater agreement, and by defining a performance measure which takes the reliability of each annotation decision in the dataset into account.
