    <Paragraph position="0"> WordNet::Similarity was preceeded by the distance.pl program, which was released in June 2002. This was converted into the object oriented WordNet::Similarity package, which was first released in April 2003 as version 0.03. The most current version as of this writing is 0.07, which was released in March 2004.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> The distance.pl program and all versions of Word-Net::Similarity up to and including 0.06 were designed and implemented by Siddharth Patwardhan as a part of his Master's thesis at the University of Minnesota, Duluth. Version 0.07 was designed and implemented by Jason Michelizzi as a part of his Master's thesis.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> The lesk measure in WordNet::Similarity was originally designed and implemented by Satanjeev Banerjee, who developed this measure as a part of his Master's thesis at the University of Minnesota, Duluth. Thereafter Siddharth Patwardhan ported this measure to WordNet::Similarity. null This work has been partially supported by a National Science Foundation Faculty Early CAREER Development award (#0092784), and by a Grant-in-Aid of Research, Artistry and Scholarship from the Office of the Vice President for Research and the Dean of the Graduate School of the University of Minnesota.</Paragraph>
