NLTK corpus: Compare the similarity of two given verbs


Write a Python NLTK program to compare the similarity of two given verbs.

Sample Solution:

Python Code :

from nltk.corpus import wordnet
print("\nComparing go anb return:")
v1 = wordnet.synset('go.v.01')
v2 = wordnet.synset('return.v.01')
print(v1.wup_similarity(v2))

print("\nComparing buy anb sell:")
v1 = wordnet.synset('buy.v.01')
v2 = wordnet.synset('sell.v.01')
print(v1.wup_similarity(v2))

print("\nComparing begin anb start:")
v1 = wordnet.synset('begin.v.01')
v2 = wordnet.synset('start.v.01')
print(v1.wup_similarity(v2))

Sample Output:

Comparing go anb return:
0.6666666666666666

Comparing buy anb sell:
0.2857142857142857

Comparing begin anb start:
