Exemplar-Based Models for Word Meaning in Context
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes ongoing work on distributional models for word meaning in context. We abandon the usual one-vectorper-word paradigm in favor of an exemplar model that activates only relevant occurrences. On a paraphrasing task, we find that a simple exemplar model outperforms more complex state-of-the-art models.

Exemplar-Based Sense Modulation
A great deal of psycholinguistic findings reveal that context highlights or obscures certain aspects in the meaning of a word (viz., word sense modulation). Computational models of lexicon, however, are mostly concerned with the ways context selects a meaning for a word (word sense selection). In this paper, we propose a model that combines sense selection with sense modulation. Word senses in ...
متن کاملMulti-Prototype Vector-Space Models of Word Meaning
Current vector-space models of lexical semantics create a single “prototype” vector to represent the meaning of a word. However, due to lexical ambiguity, encoding word meaning with a single vector is problematic. This paper presents a method that uses clustering to produce multiple “sense-specific” vectors for each word. This approach provides a context-dependent vector representation of word ...
متن کاملModeling Word Meaning in Context with Substitute Vectors
Context representations are a key element in distributional models of word meaning. In contrast to typical representations based on neighboring words, a recently proposed approach suggests to represent a context of a target word by a substitute vector, comprising the potential fillers for the target word slot in that context. In this work we first propose a variant of substitute vectors, which ...
متن کاملThe Meaning of the Word Tamhis in the Holy Quran and in the Hadiths of the Infallibles (a.s.)
Ebtela’ (affliction) and emtehan (examination) are among the divine traditions in the field of Quranic studies, and many verses in the holy Quran deal with them. This research work has been conducted using the analytical-descriptive method and by referring to the commentaries of the Quran and the hadiths of the Infallibles (a.s.), and it aims to find out what the word tamhis conceptually means ...
متن کاملMeasuring Distributional Similarity in Context
The computation of meaning similarity as operationalized by vector-based models has found widespread use in many tasks ranging from the acquisition of synonyms and paraphrases to word sense disambiguation and textual entailment. Vector-based models are typically directed at representing words in isolation and thus best suited for measuring similarity out of context. In his paper we propose a pr...
