SSA should be corpus-based instead?

The paper says:

In this paper, we introduce a new model called Salient Semantic Analysis (SSA), which incorporates a similar semantic abstraction and interpretation of words, by using salient concepts gathered from encyclopedic knowledge.

The main idea underlying our method is that we can determine the semantic relatedness of words by measuring the distance between their concept-based profiles, where a profile consists of salient concepts occurring within contexts across a very large corpus. Unlike previous corpus-based methods of relatedness, which utilize word-word associations to create contextualized profiles, our model utilizes concepts that frequently co-occur with a given word.
