Linear Algebraic Structure of Word Senses, with Applications to Polysemy
Word embeddings are ubiquitous in NLP and information retrieval, but it’s unclear what they represent when the word is polysemous, i.e., has multiple senses. Here it is shown that multiple word senses reside in linear superposition within the word embedding and can be recovered by simple sparse coding. The success of the method —which applies to several embedding methods including word2vec— is ...
متن کاملChildren use syntax to learn verb meanings.
Verb learning is clearly a function of observation of real-world contingencies; however, it is argued that such observational information is insufficient to account fully for vocabulary acquisition. This paper provides an experimental validation of Landau & Gleitman's (1985) syntactic bootstrapping procedure; namely, that children may use syntactic information to learn new verbs. Pairs of actio...
متن کاملConstraints Children Place on Word Meanings
This paper views lexical acquisition OS a problem of induction: Children must figure out the meaning of a given term, given the large number of possible meanings any term could have. If children had to consider, evaluate, and rule out an unlimited number of hypotheses obout each word in order to figure out its meaning, learning word meanings would be hopeless. Children must, therefore, be limit...
متن کاملSemantico-cognitive Representation of Meanings Application to Verbal Polysemy
This communication describes the theoretical and practical tools that permit the automatic construction of a verbal lexicon in view of a didactic utilisation by linguists and an automatic treatment of written texts. Firstly we present the taken theoretical choices for the representation of the verbal polysemy in view of a practical utilisation; and secondly we present some elements of a semi-au...
متن کاملAllegory: Structure, Interpretation and Polysemy
In allegories polysemy relates not only to the context and the audience’s understanding but also to the structural characters of these texts. This paper investigates the function of structural and narrative properties in the creation of multiple interpretations of an allegory. Focusing on the events and following a unique story-line is the most important trait in helping to read the alleg...
