CogALex-V Shared Task: Mach5 – A traditional DSM approach to semantic relatedness

Stefan Evert


Abstract
This contribution provides a strong baseline result for the CogALex-V shared task using a traditional “count”-type DSM (placed in rank 2 out of 7 in subtask 1 and rank 3 out of 6 in subtask 2). Parameter tuning experiments reveal some surprising effects and suggest that the use of random word pairs as negative examples may be problematic, guiding the parameter optimization in an undesirable direction.
