Through the use of human annotators, a subset of the connections between 1000 hand-chosen synsets was assigned a value of “evocation” representing how much the first concept brings to mind the second. These data, along with existing similarity measures, constitute the basis of a method for predicting evocation between previously unrated pairs. %B Proceedings of the Third International WordNet Conference %P 29 - 36 %8 2006/// %G eng
