-====== Data sets for the evaluation of word space models ======

-This page contains a developing list of tasks, sub-tasks and corresponding (sub-)data-sets. 
- 
-Other tasks or sub-tasks might be added in the near future.

-==== Task 1: Categorization ==== 
- 
-Categorization tasks play a prominent role in cognitive research on concepts. In this type of tasks, subjects 
-are typically asked to assign experimental items - objects, images, words - 
-to a given category or to group together items belonging to the same category. 
-Since categorization presupposes an understanding of the relationship between the items in a category, it is regarded as a key source of evidence on the organization and structure of the human conceptual system. 
- 
-In the present task, computational models will be tested on their ability to properly group 
-words into semantic categories. The task is organized into three sub-tasks, focussing on different areas 
-of the lexicon and/or semantic dimensions: 
- 
-  * [[Concrete Nouns Categorization]] 
-  * [[Abstract/Concrete Nouns Discrimination]] 
-  * [[Verb Categorization]] 
- 
- 
-==== Task 2: Free Association ==== 
- 
-This task will be described in the near future. 
- 
-  * [[Correlation with Free Association Norms]] 
- 
-==== Task 3: Property Generation ==== 
- 
-The ability to describe a concept in terms of its salient properties is an important feature of human conceptual cognition. In this task, we compare human-generated //norms// collected by psychologists to the properties generated by computational models. 
- 
-  * [[Comparison with Speaker-Generated Features]]
