Diachronic Word Sense Change Identification
نویسندگان
چکیده
Language has continuously changed over time. New senses for some words took birth while some old senses demised. For an example the word ‘instant’ which referred to the current month about a century ago but is now used to refer to a very small brief time; ‘economy’ referred to management of resources in the past and is now being referred to state of country in terms of productions. Diachronic word meaning change identification has been done by making vectors of words using Word2Vec[5] over different time epochs; aligning the vectors across the epochs and finally used cosine similarity to identify the words.

A State-of-the-Art of Semantic Change Computation
This paper reviews state-of-the-art of one emerging field in computational linguistics — semantic change computation, proposing a framework that summarizes the literature by identifying and expounding five essential components in the field: diachronic corpus, diachronic word sense characterization, change modelling, evaluation data and data visualization. Despite the potential of the field, the...
متن کاملTowards Tracking Semantic Change by Visual Analytics
This paper presents a new approach to detecting and tracking changes in word meaning by visually modeling and representing diachronic development in word contexts. Previous studies have shown that computational models are capable of clustering and disambiguating senses, a more recent trend investigates whether changes in word meaning can be tracked by automatic methods. The aim of our study is ...
متن کاملNovel Word-sense Identification
Automatic lexical acquisition has been an active area of research in computational linguistics for over two decades, but the automatic identification of new word-senses has received attention only very recently. Previous work on this topic has been limited by the availability of appropriate evaluation resources. In this paper we present the largest corpus-based dataset of diachronic sense diffe...
متن کاملVerbs Change More than Nouns: a Bottom-up Computational Approach to Semantic Change
Linguists have identified a number of types of recurrent semantic change, and have proposed a number of explanations, usually based on specific lexical items. This paper takes a different approach, by using a distributional semantic model to identify and quantify semantic change across an entire lexicon in a completely bottom-up fashion, and by examining which distributional properties of words...
متن کاملNon-structural Case Marking in Tibeto-Burman and Artificial Languages*
This paper discusses the diachronic development of non-structural case marking in TibetoBurman and in computer simulations of language evolution. It is shown how case marking is initially motivated by the pragmatic need to disambiguate between two core arguments, but eventually may develop flagging functions that even extend into the intransitive domain. Also, it is shown how different types of...
