Constructing Text Sense Representations

Mental Representations of Lyrical Prose

The article analyzes mental representations of Russian lyrical prose texts. The texts demonstrate collective memory engrams that are defined by cultural and historical legacy of the nation and authors’ creative world perception. In architectonics of a lyrical prose text, sense perception reveals itself in accumulated underlying meanings and wisdom conveyed by expressive means. The author’s inte...

Wikipedia-based Compact Hierarchical Semantics for Natural Language Processing

A correct semantic representation of words and texts underlies many text processing tasks such as text categorization, word sense disambiguation, and semantic relatedness assessment. It has long been recognized that computers require access to common-sense and domain-specific world knowledge in order to process textual data at a deeper level. In this paper, we present a novel representation of ...

Spectral representations of neutron-star equations of state

Methods are developed for constructing spectral representations of cold (barotropic) neutron-star equations of state. These representations are faithful in the sense that every physical equation of state has a representation of this type and conversely every such representation satisfies the minimal thermodynamic stability criteria required of any physical equation of state. These spectral repr...

Retrofitting Sense-Specific Word Vectors Using Parallel Text

Jauhar et al. (2015) recently proposed to learn sense-specific word representations by “retrofitting” standard distributional word representations to an existing ontology. We observe that this approach does not require an ontology, and can be generalized to any graph defining word senses and relations between them. We create such a graph using translations learned from parallel corpora. On a se...
