As shown in Figure 5(b-c), the correlation between the SimLex-999-based and WS-353 ratings was notably higher (ρ = 0.73) on the WS-Sim subset than the WS-Rel subset (ρ = 0.38).
the tendency of subjects following the SimLex-999 instructions to assign lower ratings than those following the WS-353 instructions was far more pronounced for pairs in WS-Sim ( Figure 5(b)) than for those in WS-Rel ( Figure 5(c)).
