Miller_and_Charles_with_concepts_senses

This dataset represents the results of the experimentation of a method for evaluating semantic similarity between concepts in a taxonomy.
The method is based on the information-theoretic approach and allows senses of concepts in a given context to be considered.
The dataset is composed of 28 files.
Each file refers to one pair of the well-known Miller and Charles benchmark dataset [1] for assessing semantic similarity.
For each pair of concepts, the same 28 pairs are all considered as possible different contexts.
We applied our proposal by extending 7 methods for computing semantic similarity in a taxonomy, selected from the literature.
The methods considered in the experiment are referred to as (R[2], W&P[3], L[4], J&C[5], P&S[6], A[7], A&M[8]):
