AvgSimC weights the similarity measurement of each sense pair z ik and z jl by their probability estimations.
maxSimC is a hard measurement that only considers the most probable senses: The baselines for comparison include classic clustering methods (Huang et al., 2012;Neelakantan et al., 2014), Em algorithms (Tian et al., 2014;Qiu et al., 2016;Bartunov et al., 2016), and Chinese Restaurant Process (Li and Jurafsky, 2015) 5 , where all approaches are trained on the same corpus except Qiu et al.
