چکیده

The Lexical Substitution task involves selecting and ranking lexical paraphrases for a target word in a given sentential context. We present PIC, a simple measure for estimating the appropriateness of substitutes in a given context. PIC outperforms another simple, comparable model proposed in recent work, especially when selecting substitutes from the entire vocabulary. Analysis shows that PIC improves over baselines by incorporating frequency biases into predictions.

A Simple Word Embedding Model for Lexical Substitution

The lexical substitution task requires identifying meaning-preserving substitutes for a target word instance in a given sentential context. Since its introduction in SemEval-2007, various models addressed this challenge, mostly in an unsupervised setting. In this work we propose a simple model for lexical substitution, which is based on the popular skip-gram word embedding model. The novelty of...

First Language Activation during Second Language Lexical Processing in a Sentential Context

 Lexicalization-patterns, the way words are mapped onto concepts, differ from one language      to another. This study investigated the influence of first language (L1) lexicalization patterns on the processing of second language (L2) words in sentential contexts by both less proficient and more proficient Persian learners of English. The focus was on cases where two different senses of a polys...

Word Meaning in Context: A Simple and Effective Vector Model

We present a model that represents word meaning in context by vectors which are modified according to the words in the target’s syntactic context. Contextualization of a vector is realized by reweighting its components, based on distributional information about the context words. Evaluation on a paraphrase ranking task derived from the SemEval 2007 Lexical Substitution Task shows that our model...

context2vec: Learning Generic Context Embedding with Bidirectional LSTM

Context representations are central to various NLP tasks, such as word sense disambiguation, named entity recognition, coreference resolution, and many more. In this work we present a neural model for efficiently learning a generic context embedding function from large corpora, using bidirectional LSTM. With a very simple application of our context representations, we manage to surpass or nearl...

Co-Occurrence Cluster Features for Lexical Substitutions in Context

This paper examines the influence of features based on clusters of co-occurrences for supervised Word Sense Disambiguation and Lexical Substitution. Cooccurrence cluster features are derived from clustering the local neighborhood of a target word in a co-occurrence graph based on a corpus in a completely unsupervised fashion. Clusters can be assigned in context and are used as features in a sup...
