tween two words ( Gurevych , 2005 ) .3 Dissimilar words can be semantically related , e.g. via functional relationships ( night -- dark ) or when they are antonyms ( high -- low ) . Many NLP applications require knowledge about semantic relatedness rather than just similarity ( Budanitsky and Hirst , 2006 ) . A number of competing approaches for computing semantic relatedness of words have been developed ( see Section 2 ) .
