Similar-Associated-Both Test Collection (State of the art)
- the contrast between taxonomical similarity (co-hyponymy) and association (co-occurrence)
- 144 word pairs labeled similar-only, associated-only, or similar+associated
- 48 pairs in each of the three classes
- test collection created by Chiarello et al. (1990)
- Chiarello et al. (1990) used the dataset in human priming experiments; they did not measure classification accuracy
- dataset is provided in the Appendix of Chiarello et al. (1990); also available on request from Peter Turney
- see also: Similarity (State of the art), SimLex-999 (State of the art)
