NAME
       similarity.pl - Command line interface to WordNet::Similarity

SYNOPSIS
       similarity.pl [--type=TYPE [--config=CONFIGFILE] [--allsense]
       [--offsets] [--trace]
                     [--wnpath=PATH] [--simpath=SIMPATH] {--interact |
       --file=FILENAME | WORD1 WORD2}
                     | --help
                     | --version]

DESCRIPTION
       This program is a command line interface to the WordNet::Similarity
       package, which is an implementation of semantic relatedness measures
       between words. This project began in an effort to replicate the
       measures described in Budanitsky and Hirst (1995) "Semantic distance in
       WordNet: An Experimental, application-oriented evaluation of five
       measures", and has since grown to include additional measures.  The
       measures described and implemented are as follows (those included in
       Budanitksy and Hirst's work are denoted with a *):

          (1) Leacock and Chodorow (1998) *
          (2) Jiang and Conrath (1997) *
          (3) Resnik (1995) *
          (4) Lin (1998) *
          (5) Hirst St-Onge (1998) *
          (6) Wu and Palmer (1994)
          (7) Extended Gloss Overlaps (Banerjee & Pedersen, 2003)
          (8) Edge Counting
          (9) Gloss Vector (Patwardhan, 2003)
          (10) Random

OPTIONS
       --type=type
           the type of similarity measure.  Valid values are

           WordNet::Similarity::path - simple edge counting
           WordNet::Similarity::hso - Hirst & St-Onge (1998)
           WordNet::Similarity::lch - Leacock & Chodorow (1998)
           WordNet::Similarity::lesk - Extended Gloss Overlaps (Pedersen & Banerjee 2003)
           WordNet::Similarity::lin - Lin (1998)
           WordNet::Similarity::jcn - Jiang & Conrath (1997)
           WordNet::Similarity::random - returns random numbers
           WordNet::Similarity::res - Resnik (1995)
           WordNet::Similarity::vector - Gloss Vector (Patwardhan 2003)
           WordNet::Similarity::wup - Wu & Palmer (1994)

       --config=configfile
           the path to a module-specific configuration file

       --allsenses
           Show the relatedness between every sense of the two input words

       --offsets
           show all synsets as offsets and a part-of-speech letter

       --trace
           switches on "Trace" mode.  Output goes to stdout.

       --interace
           starts the interactive mode (experimental)

       --file=filename
           input words are read from filename.  This file must contain a pair
           of words on each line.  Comments are allowed: anything following //
           on a line is ignored.

       --wnpath=path
           looks for WordNet in path. Usual values are
           /usr/local/WordNet/3.0/dict and C:\WordNet\3.0\dict.

       --simpath=path
           look the relatedness module in path.  This is useful if
           the module is locally installed.

       --help
           show a detailed help message

       --version
           show version information
