Duluth : Measuring Degrees of Relational Similarity with the Gloss Vector Measure of Semantic Relatedness

This paper describes the Duluth systems that participated in Task 2 of SemEval-2012. These systems were unsupervised and relied on variations of the Gloss Vector measure found in the freely available software package WordNet:: Similarity. This method was moderately successful for the Class-Inclusion, Similar, Contrast, and Non-Attribute categories of semantic relations, but mimicked a random baseline for the other six categories.
