ESSLLI Workshop on Distributional Lexical Semantics Bridging the gap

چکیده
This paper presents a series of new results on corpus derived semantic representations based on vectors of simple word co-occurrence statistics, with particular reference to word categorization performance as a function of window type and size, semantic vector dimension, and corpus size. A number of outstanding problems and difficulties with this approach are identified and discussed.

Modeling metaphor perception with distributional semantics vector space models
In this paper, we present a novel application of a computational model of word meaning to capture human judgments of the linguistic properties of metaphoricity, familiarity, and meaningfulness. We present data gathered from human subjects regarding their ratings of these properties over a set of word pairs specifically designed to exhibit varying degrees of metaphoricity. We then investigate wh...
متن کاملMapping conceptual features to referential properties
We report on initial work on bridging the conceptto-reference gap using distributional semantics. Specifically, we aim at predicting properties of countries, using distributional vectors to infer database information. Our results are highly encouraging, since we achieve an error reduction of 30% over the baseline and are not far from the upper bound.
متن کاملQuantifiers and visual cognition: the processing of proportional and superlative most in Bulgarian and Polish
I provide experimental evidence that quantifier semantics guides visual verification processes (Lidz et al. 2011). I tested the processing of two majority quantifiers in Bulgarian and Polish: the proportional Most1, the counterpart of English most, and the superlative/relative Most2. Three obtained notable results have been obtained: (i) Most1 is verified by a Subtraction strategy, directly rep...

متن کاملCan distributional approaches improve on Good Old-Fashioned Lexical Semantics?
In this position paper, I discuss some linguistic problems that computational work on lexical semantics has attempted to address in the past and the implications for alternative models which incorporate distributional information. I concentrate in particular on phenomena involving count/mass distinctions, where older approaches attempted to use lexical semantics in their models of syntax. I out...
