[Corpora-List] A new dataset release - WS353 translated to multiple languages an re-scored by fluent speakers of these languages

[Taher Pilehvar]

Following the release of the Multilingual WordSim-353 by Leviant and
Reichart (2015), we announce the availability of six cross­-lingual word
similarity datasets which were automatically constructed based on our paper
that was recently presented at ACL (see reference below). The following
language pairs are covered:

* English-­German
* English­-Italian
* English-­Russian
* German­-Italian
* German­-Russian
* Italian-­Russian
