NLTK corpus: Exercise-9 with Solution

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
