    I presented a paper at ACL-SIGLEX99 mapping dictionary definitions
    between dictionaries
    (http://www.clres.com/Comparison_of_Lexical_Resources.html), the methods
    of which have been extended since. In addition, in my
    question-answering system, there are several methods used for comparing
    a question with potential answers, where (non-statistical) similarity is
    important. I'll be putting up my TREC-9 paper (only an abstract now
    available) shortly. This work integrates syntactic and semantic clues
    (including a semantic network of a real dictionary and thesaurus).

    HTH,
