Abstract
This demonstration presents an infrastructure for computing multilingualsemantic relatedness and correlation for twelve natural languages by usingthree distributional semantic models (DSMs). Our demonsrator - DInfra(Distributional Infrastructure) provides researchers and developers with ahighly useful platform for processing large-scale corpora and conductingexperiments with distributional semantics. We integrate several multilingualDSMs in our webservice so the end user can obtain a result without worryingabout the complexities involved in building DSMs. Our webservice allows theusers to have easy access to a wide range of comparisons of DSMs with differentparameters. In addition, users can configure and access DSM parameters using aneasy to use API.
