Description

This data collection contains synchronic semantic relatedness judgments for German word usage pairs drawn from general language and the domain of cooking. Find a description of the data format, code to process the data and further datasets on the WUGsite.

  • testset: a semantic meaning shift test set with 22 German lexemes exhibiting different degrees of meaning shifts from general language to the domain of cooking. The 'mean relatedness score' denotes the annotation-based measure of semantic shift described in the paper. 'frequency GEN' and 'frequency SPEC' list the frequencies of the target words in the general-language corpus (GEN) and the domain-specific cooking corpus (SPEC). 'translations' provides English translations across senses, illustrating possible meaning shifts. Note that further senses might exist.
  • tables: the annotated table of each annotator.
  • plots: data visualization plots.


We provide additional data under misc/. Please find more information on the provided data in the paper referenced below.
