Employing distributional semantics to organize task-focused vocabulary learning
How can a learner systematically prepare for reading a book they are interested in? In this paper,we explore how computational linguistic methods such as distributional semantics, morphological clustering, and exercise generation can be combined with graph-based learner models to answer this question both conceptually and in practice. Based on the highly structured learner model and concepts from network analysis, the learner is guided to efficiently explore the targeted lexical space. They practice using multi-gap learning activities generated from the book focused on words that are central to the targeted lexical space. As such the approach offers a unique combination of computational linguistic methods with concepts from network analysis and the tutoring system domain to support learners in achieving their individual, reading task-based learning goals.

Using dependency parsing for few-shot learning in distributional semantics
In this work, we explore the novel idea of employing dependency parsing information in the context of few-shot learning, the task of learning the meaning of a rare word based on a limited amount of context sentences. Fir…
Dependency ParsingFew-Shot LearningNovel Aficionados and Doppelgängers: a referential task for semantic representations of individual entities
In human semantic cognition, proper names (names which refer to individual entities) are harder to learn and retrieve than common nouns. This seems to be the case for machine learning algorithms too, but the linguistic a…
Representing Verbs with Visual Argument Vectors
Is it possible to use images to model verb semantic similarities? Starting from this core question, we developed two textual distributional semantic models and a visual one. We found particularly interesting and challeng…
Semantic SimilaritySemantic Textual SimilarityOn the difficulty of a distributional semantics of spoken language
In the domain of unsupervised learning most work on speech has focused on discovering low-level constructs such as phoneme inventories or word-like units. In contrast, for written language, where there is a large body of…
Combined Distributional and Logical Semantics
We introduce a new approach to semantics which combines the benefits of distributional and formal logical semantics. Distributional models have been successful in modelling the meanings of content words, but logical sema…
