RuSemShift: a dataset of historical lexical semantic change in Russian
We present RuSemShift, a large-scale manually annotated test set for the task of semantic change modeling in Russian for two long-term time period pairs: from the pre-Soviet through the Soviet times and from the Soviet through the post-Soviet times. Target words were annotated by multiple crowd-source workers. The annotation process was organized following the DURel framework and was based on sentence contexts extracted from the Russian National Corpus. Additionally, we report the performance of several distributional approaches on RuSemShift, achieving promising results, which at the same time leave room for other researchers to improve.

A Tale of Two Laws of Semantic Change: Predicting Synonym Changes with Distributional Semantic Models
Lexical Semantic Change is the study of how the meaning of words evolves through time. Another related question is whether and how lexical relations over pairs of words, such as synonymy, change over time. There are curr…
Change DetectionA Multidimensional Framework for Evaluating Lexical Semantic Change with Social Science Applications
Historical linguists have identified multiple forms of lexical semantic change. We present a three-dimensional framework for integrating these forms and a unified computational methodology for evaluating them concurrentl…
Survey of Computational Approaches to Lexical Semantic Change
Our languages are in constant flux driven by external factors such as cultural, societal and technological changes, as well as by only partially understood internal motivations. Words acquire new meanings and lose old se…

Change and its precondition, variation, are inherent in languages. Over time, new words enter the lexicon, others become obsolete, and existing words acquire new senses. Associating a word's correct meaning in its histor…
HistBERT: A Pre-trained Language Model for Diachronic Lexical Semantic Analysis
Contextualized word embeddings have demonstrated state-of-the-art performance in various natural language processing tasks including those that concern historical semantic change. However, language models such as BERT wa…
