HIT: Web based Scoring Method for English Lexical Substitution

This paper describes the HIT system and its participation in SemEval-2007 English Lexical Substitution Task. Two main steps are included in our method: candidate substitute extraction and candidate scoring. In the first step, candidate substitutes for each target word in a given sentence are extracted from WordNet. In the second step, the extracted candidates are scored and ranked using a web-based scoring method. The substitute ranked first is selected as the best substitute. For the multiword subtask, a simple WordNet-based approach is employed.
