Linear transformations of semantic spaces for word-sense discrimination and collocation compositionality grading

Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) and Word Space are two semantic models derived from the vector space model of distributional semantics that have been used successfully in word-sense disambiguation and discrimination. LSA can represent word types and word tokens in context by means of a single matrix factorised by Singular Value Decomposition (SVD). Word Space is able to represent types via word ...
