associated words

I am developing a program but stuck on a particular hurdle. I need to find words开发者_JS百科 associated with other words. EG "green" might be associated with "environment", "leaf", "earth", "wind", "electric", "hybrid", etc. All I can find is Google Sets. Is there any other resource that is better?

If you have a large text collection (say Wikipedia, Project Gutenberg) you can use co-occurrence scores extract this kind of data. See e.g. Padó and Lapata and the references therein.

I recently built a tool that mines this kind of associations from Wikipedia database dumps by another method. It requires a lot of memory though; other folks have tried to do the same using randomized methods.

If you're still looking for a resource of semantically related words, I've just recently developed an API that takes a query and returns semantically related words. It offers parts of speech, relationships to the query word, and a word similarity measurement.
