NLTK corpus: Compare the similarity of two given nouns
Write a Python NLTK program to compare the similarity of two given nouns.
Sample Solution:
Python Code :
from nltk.corpus import wordnet
print("\nComparing ship anb boat:")
n1 = wordnet.synset('ship.n.01')
n2 = wordnet.synset('boat.n.01')
print("\nComparing bus anb boat:")
print(n1.wup_similarity(n2))
n1 = wordnet.synset('bus.n.01')
n2 = wordnet.synset('boat.n.01')
print(n1.wup_similarity(n2))
print("\nComparing red anb greed:")
n1 = wordnet.synset('red.n.01')
n2 = wordnet.synset('green.n.01')
print(n1.wup_similarity(n2))
Sample Output:
Comparing ship anb boat: Comparing bus anb boat: 0.9090909090909091 0.7 Comparing red anb greed: 0.875
