Abstract
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> A comparison W~LS made of vectors derived by using ordinary co-occurrence statistics from large text corpora and of vectors derived by measuring the inter-word distances in dictionary definitions. The precision of word sense disambiguation by using co-occurrence vectors frorn the 1987 Wall Street Journal (20M total words) was higher than that by using distance vectors from the Collins English l)ictionary (60K head words + 1.6M definition words), llowever, other experimen-tal results suggest that distance vectors contain some different semantic information from co-occurrence vectors. null</Paragraph>
