Distributional semantics
Research area in semantic similarities between linguistic items
Distributional semantics is a research area that develops and studies theories and methods for quantifying and categorizing semantic similarities between linguistic items based on their distributional properties in large samples of language data. The basic idea of distributional semantics can be summed up in the distributional hypothesis: linguistic items with similar distributions have similar meanings.
