This repository contains the official release of **FAST (Free ASsociation
Tasks)**, a free association dataset for English sampled from two standard free association norms (the Edinburgh Associative Thesaurus and the University of South Florida Free Association Norms).
The repository complements the paper *“FAST: A carefully sampled and cognitively motivated dataset for
distributional semantic evaluation”* (Evert and Lapesa, 2021), to appear in the Proceedings of the
SIGNLL Conference on Computational Natural Language Learning (CoNLL) 2021. The paper is enclosed in the repository.
Along with the dataset in .tsv and .rda format, we provide: the replication scripts for the baseline experiments (format: R markdown and html) as well as the distributional models evaluated in the paper (format: .rda; folder: data).
