Universal metric thesaurus of Russian language

All Russian language available thesauri are compiled by expert groups. In the paper, the tools for automatic generating of a thesaurus are presented. The tools are based on a formal presentation of the texts explaining semantics of the words and a quantify assessment of the semantic distance between the words as a measure of their proximity. The proposed solutions allow to use the formal mathematical presentations that minimize subjectivity in assessing the proximity of the words. The solutions give an opportunity to synthesize automatic systems for evaluating the semantic proximity of the words and to solve other problems in the area of texts processing.
