Word Similarity Calculation with Lemmatization

This function calculates the similarity between two words. First, it uses the WordNetLemmatizer from the Lingua library to lemmatize the words, and then it uses the word_similarity function to calculate the similarity between the lemmatized words.

    from lingua import WordNetLemmatizer
    from lingua.similarity import word_similarity

    # Initialize the lemmatizer
    lemmatizer = WordNetLemmatizer()

    # Lemmatize the words
    lemma1 = lemmatizer.lemmatize(word1)
    lemma2 = lemmatizer.lemmatize(word2)

    # Calculate the similarity between the lemmatized words
    similarity = word_similarity(lemma1, lemma2)

    return similarity
