| Description | Recent research on vector representation of words in texts bring new methods of evaluating distributional thesauri. One of such methods is the task of analogy queries. We evaluated the Sketch Engine thesaurus on a subset of analogy queries using several similarity options. We show that Jaccard similarity is better than the cosine one for bigger corpora, it even substantially outperforms the word2vec system. |
