One key issue is how to define the set of similar words , SIMS ( w ) . Erk ( 2007 ) compared a number of techniques for creating similar-word sets and found that both the Jaccard coefficient and Lin ( 1998a ) 's information-theoretic metric work best . Similarity-smoothed models are simple to compute , potentially adaptable to new domains , and require no manually-compiled resources such as WordNet .
