Data-Driven Metaphor Recognition and Explanation
Recognizing metaphors and identifying the source-target mappings is an important task as metaphorical text poses a big challenge for machine reading. To address this problem, we automatically acquire a metaphor knowledge base and an isA knowledge base from billions of web pages. Using the knowledge bases, we develop an inference mechanism to recognize and explain the metaphors in the text. To our knowledge, this is the first purely data-driven approach of probabilistic metaphor acquisition, recognition, and explanation. Our results shows that it significantly outperforms other state-of-the-art methods in recognizing and explaining metaphors.

Generating Conceptual Metaphors from Proposition Stores
Contemporary research on computational processing of linguistic metaphors is divided into two main branches: metaphor recognition and metaphor interpretation. We take a different line of research and present an automated…
An analysis of language models for metaphor recognition
We conduct a linguistic analysis of recent metaphor recognition systems, all of which are based on language models. We show that their performance, although reaching high F-scores, has considerable gaps from a linguistic…
Word Sense DisambiguationCFMS: Towards Explainable and Fine-Grained Chinese Multimodal Sarcasm Detection Benchmark
Multimodal sarcasm detection has recently garnered significant attention. However, existing benchmarks suffer from coarse-grained annotations and limited cultural coverage, which hinder research into fine-grained semanti…
Explanation GenerationReinforcement LearningSarcasm DetectionWhen Meaning Isn't Literal: Exploring Idiomatic Meaning Across Languages and Modalities
Idiomatic reasoning, deeply intertwined with metaphor and culture, remains a blind spot for contemporary language models, whose progress skews toward surface-level lexical and semantic cues. For instance, the Bengali idi…
CMDAG: A Chinese Metaphor Dataset with Annotated Grounds as CoT for Boosting Metaphor Generation
Metaphor is a prominent linguistic device in human language and literature, as they add color, imagery, and emphasis to enhance effective communication. This paper introduces a large-scale high quality annotated Chinese …
