Abstract

We present the results of clustering experiments with a number of different evaluation sets using dependency based word spaces. Contrary to previous results we found a clear advantage using a parsed corpus over word spaces constructed with the help of simple patterns. We achieve considerable gains in performance over these spaces ranging between 9 and 13% in absolute terms of cluster purity.
