I would like to find the relatedness (not similarity) between two words using Python. The hso (Hirst and St-Onge,1998), lesk (Banerjee and Pedersen, 2003), and vector (Patwardhan, 2003) algorithms are implemented in Perl here but i cant seem to find the same for Python in the nltk lib.
I need to use Python as it is part of a larger team project in Python. Any leads??
There is also a web interface you could access – you could presumably write a python client to query the web interface to get the lesk or vector values.
You can find those web interfaces here…
