Alternative novel measures of the distance between any two partitions of a n-set are proposed and compared, together with a main existing one, namely partition-distance D(·, ·). The comparison achieves by checking their restriction to modular elements of the partition lattice, as well as in terms of suitable classifiers. Two of the new measures obtain through the size, a function mapping every ...

In many theoretical and applied areas of computational linguistics researchers operate with a notion of linguistic distance or, conversely, linguistic similarity, which is the focus of the present workshop. While many CL areas make frequent use of such notions, it has received little focused attention, an honorable exception being Lebart & Rajman (2000). This workshop brings a number of these s...
