For a given similarity measure f and neighborhood size k, let 3f, k(n) denote the k most similar words to n according to f. We define the ... k most similar words according to f are on the whole better predictors than the k most similar words according to g; hence, f induces an inherently better similarity ranking for distance-weighted...
