Detecting Figurative Word Occurrences Using Recurrent Neural Networks
The paper addresses detection of figurative usage of words in English text. The chosen method was to use neural nets fed by pretrained word embeddings. The obtained results show that simple solutions, based on words embeddings only, are comparable to complex solutions, using many sources of information which are not available for languages less-studied than English.

Exploring Metaphorical Senses and Word Representations for Identifying Metonyms
A metonym is a word with a figurative meaning, similar to a metaphor. Because metonyms are closely related to metaphors, we apply features that are used successfully for metaphor recognition to the task of detecting meto…
Bilingual Lexical Access and Cognate Idiom Comprehension
Language transfer can facilitate learning L2 words whose form and meaning are similar to L1 words, or hinder speakers when the languages differ. L2 idioms introduce another layer of challenge, as language transfer could …
Figurative Usage Detection of Symptom Words to Improve Personal Health Mention Detection
Personal health mention detection deals with predicting whether or not a given sentence is a report of a health condition. Past work mentions errors in this prediction when symptom words, i.e. names of symptoms of intere…

Tracing metaphors in time through self-distance in vector spaces
From a diachronic corpus of Italian, we build consecutive vector spaces in time and use them to compare a term's cosine similarity to itself in different time spans. We assume that a drop in similarity might be related t…
