Temporal Random Indexing: a Tool for Analysing Word Meaning Variations in News
نویسندگان
چکیده
The availability of data spanning different epochs has inspired a new analysis of cultural, social, and linguistic phenomena from a temporal perspective. This paper describes the application of Temporal Random Indexing (TRI) to the news context. TRI is able to build geometrical spaces of word meanings that consider several periods of time. Hence, TRI enables the analysis of the evolution in time of the meaning of a word. We propose some examples of application of TRI to the analysis of word meanings in the news scenario; this analysis enables the detection of linguistic variations that emerge in specific time intervals and that can be related to particular events.

متن کاملCritical Features of Word Meaning as an Educational Tool in Learning and Teaching Natural Sciences
The educational challenge of polysemy of words used both in non-formal (every-day) and scientific formal languages is addressed. An analysing tool, the triadic approach, has been elaborated to make this kind of polysemy of words explicit by discerning three different sets of meaning: non-formal, a scientific quality and a physical quantity, respectively. The discernment process is a particular ...
متن کاملEvent Detection in Blogs using Temporal Random Indexing
Automatic event detection aims to identify novel, interesting topics as they are published online. While existing algorithms for event detection have focused on newswire releases, we examine how event detection can work on less structured corpora of blogs. The proliferation of blogs and other forms of selfpublished media have given rise to an ever-growing corpus of news, commentary and opinion ...
