Instances and concepts in distributional space
Instances ({`}Mozart{''}) are ontologically distinct from concepts or classes ({}composer{''}). Natural language encompasses both, but instances have received comparatively little attention in distributional semantics. Our results show that instances and concepts differ in their distributional properties. We also establish that instantiation detection ({}Mozart {--} composer{''}) is generally easier than hypernymy detection ({`}chemist {--} scientist{''}), and that results on the influence of input representation do not transfer from hyponymy to instantiation.

Differentiating Concepts and Instances for Knowledge Graph Embedding
Concepts, which represent a group of different instances sharing common properties, are essential information in knowledge representation. Most conventional knowledge embedding methods encode both entities (concepts and …

We propose a new zero-shot Event Detection method by Multi-modal Distributional Semantic embedding of videos. Our model embeds object and action concepts as well as other available modalities from videos into a distribut…
Event DetectionA Comprehensive Implementation of Conceptual Spaces
The highly influential framework of conceptual spaces provides a geometric way of representing knowledge. Instances are represented by points and concepts are represented by regions in a (potentially) high-dimensional sp…
