TL;DR
This work presents two methods for identifying synonyms among distributionally similar words and presents two approaches to compute similarities between words based on their distributions in contexts.
Abstract
There have been many proposals to compute similarities between words based on their distributions in contexts. However, these approaches do not distinguish between synonyms and antonyms. We present two methods for identifying synonyms among distributionally similar words. 1

A word similarity measure based on the distributional pattern of words allows the automatically constructed thesaurus to be significantly closer to WordNet than Roget Thesaurus is.

A log-linear regression model uses constraints from conjunctions to predict whether conjoined adjectives are of same or different orientations, achieving 82% accuracy in this task when each conjunction is considered independently.

The resulting quasi-semantic classification of nouns demonstrates the plausibility of the distributional hypothesis, and has potential application to a variety of tasks, including automatic indexing, resolving nominal compounds, and determining the scope of modification.
