Combining Syntactic Co-occurrences and Nearest Neighbours in Distributional Methods to Remedy Data Sparseness.

چکیده
The task of automatically acquiring semantically related words have led people to study distributional similarity. The distributional hypothesis states that words that are similar share similar contexts. In this paper we present a technique that aims at improving the performance of a syntax-based distributional method by augmenting the original input of the system (syntactic co-occurrences) with the output of the system (nearest neighbours). This technique is based on the idea of the transitivity of similarity.

A Study on the Interplay Between the Corpus Size and Parameters of a Distributional Model for Term Classification
We propose and evaluate a method for identifying co-hyponym lexical units in a terminological resource. The principles of term recognition and distributional semantics are combined to extract terms from a similar category of concept. Given a set of candidate terms, random projections are employed to represent them as low-dimensional vectors. These vectors are derived automatically from the freq...
متن کاملModeling Subcategorization through Co-occurrence: a Computational Lexical Resource for Italian Verbs
1. Goals and Methodology The aim of this abstract is to introduce LexIt, a freely available lexical resource to characterize Italian verb argument properties in terms of distributional information automatically extracted from large corpora with state-of-the-art computational linguistics methods. Research on automatic extraction of subcategorization frames from corpora has a long tradition in co...
متن کاملVector spaces for historical linguistics: Using distributional semantics to study syntactic productivity in diachrony
This paper describes an application of distributional semantics to the study of syntactic productivity in diachrony, i.e., the property of grammatical constructions to attract new lexical items over time. By providing an empirical measure of semantic similarity between words derived from lexical co-occurrences, distributional semantics not only reliably captures how the verbs in the distributio...
متن کاملInvestigating Context Parameters in Technology Term Recognition
We propose and evaluate the task of technology term recognition: a method to extract technology terms at a synchronic level from a corpus of scientific publications. The proposed method is built on the principles of terminology extraction and distributional semantics. It is realized as a regression task in a vector space model. In this method, candidate terms are first extracted from text. Subs...
