What is the Dimensionality of Human Semantic Space?
نویسنده
چکیده
McDonald and Lowe [15] showed that cosines in a semantic space of several hundred dimensions reflect human priming results for a wide range of semantic and associatively related words [16, Exp.2]. Previously, Lowe [11, 10] argued that the intrinsic dimensionality of semantic space is much lower, and that high-dimensional structure can be effectively captured in just two dimensions as the surface of a neural map. This paper provides a replication of McDonald and Lowe’s results in two dimensions using the Generative Topographic Mapping [2], a statistically motivated neural network architecture for topographic maps.

متن کاملThe Symbiosis of Human and Semantic Technology Through the Lens of Actor-Network Theory
Background: Semantic technologies (STs) have made machine reasoning possible by providing intelligent data management methods. This capability has created new forms of interaction between humans and STs, which is called "semantic interaction." The increasing spread of this form of interaction in daily life reveals the need to identify the factors affecting it and introduce the requirements of...
متن کاملGenerating an Indoor space routing graph using semantic-geometric method
The development of indoor Location-Based Services faces various challenges that one of which is the method of generating indoor routing graph. Due to the weaknesses of purely geometric methods for generating indoor routing graphs, a semantic-geometric method is proposed to cover the existing gaps in combining the semantic and geometric methods in this study. The proposed method uses the CityGML...
