Two files are provided:
CroSemRel450-12.txt
CroSemRel450-6.txt
Both files contain a list of 450 word pairs and the average similarity scores assigned by the human annotators. The first file contains the scores averaged over 12 annotators. The second file contains the scores averaged over a subset of 6 annotators for which the observed agreement was higher. Consult the above mentioned paper for details.
