The Explicit Semantic Analysis (ESA) model based on term cooccurrences in Wikipedia has been regarded as state-of-the-art semantic relatedness measure in the recent years. We provide an analysis of the important parameters of ESA using datasets in five different languages. Additionally, we propose the use of ESA with multiple lexical semantic resources thus exploiting multiple evidence of term ...

Certain previous researches attempted to characterize how association memory works. The word meanings derived from LSA (latent semantic analysis) are usually showed highly related to the performance of forward association memory. A naı̈ve postulation would assume that the mechanisms for that relationship are mainly due to the processes of semantic similarity. The present work not only validates ...

The effect of exposure to an original or common idea on crowdsourced idea generation was studied by asking crowd workers to design a public service advertisement. As compared to having no idea exposure, exposure to an original idea decreased fluency and increased the average originality of ideas generated by each person. By contrast, exposure to a common idea had no effect on either idea origin...

Recent work in text analysis has suggested that da ta on words tha t frequently occur together reveal important information about text content. Co-occurrence relations can serve two main purposes in language processing. First, the statistics of co-occurrence have been shown to produce accurate results in syntactic analysis. Second, the way that words appear together can help in assigning themat...

Evaluation methods for Distributional Semantic Models typically rely on behaviorally derived gold standards. These methods are difficult to deploy in languages with scarce linguistic/behavioral resources. We introduce a corpus-based measure that evaluates the stability of the lexical semantic similarity space using a pseudo-synonym same-different detection task and no external resources. We sho...

The present work is devoted to the semantic analysis of modality in Siin Seereer. latter an African language belonging West Atlantic branch Niger-Congo family. It a through which enunciator can express his/her ideas and point views expression modality. Thus, there are lots operators used Seereer deal with (deontic, epistemic, dynamic, etc.). So, article aims highlight different types modality, ...
