Earth Mover's Distance on World Color Survey language response vectors Mikael Vejdemo-Johansson Susanne Vejdemo Carl-Henrik Ek 10.6084/m9.figshare.796378.v2 https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/Earth_Mover/796378 <p>Computing the Earth Mover's Distance (EMD) metric on language response vectors of the World Color Survey (WCS) is a significant undertaking even with sophisticated computational tools. Still, the distance measure is more appropriate for research into the WCS than many of the easier accessible choices.</p> <p>In this dataset, we publish a precomputed version of the EMD distance matrix for use by researchers, as well as a collection of scripts code libraries we have developed for interacting with the WCS.</p> 2013-09-11 10:59:34 world color survey linguistics semantics earth mover's distance precomputed distance matrix Anthropology
