Unsupervised Induction of Compositional Types for English Adjective-Noun Pairs

Unsupervised Compositional Translation of Multiword Expressions

This article describes a dependency-based strategy that uses compositional distributional semantics and cross-lingual word embeddings to translate multiword expressions (MWEs). Our unsupervised approach performs translat…

Measuring Diachronic Evolution of Evaluative Adjectives with Word Embeddings: the Case for English, Norwegian, and Russian

We measure the intensity of diachronic semantic shifts in adjectives in English, Norwegian and Russian across 5 decades. This is done in order to test the hypothesis that evaluative adjectives are more prone to temporal …

Interacting Conceptual Spaces

We propose applying the categorical compositional scheme of [6] to conceptual space models of cognition. In order to do this we introduce the category of convex relations as a new setting for categorical compositional se…

Unsupervised frame based Semantic Role Induction: application to French and English

Deep Clustering of Text Representations for Supervision-free Probing of Syntax

We explore deep clustering of text representations for unsupervised model interpretation and induction of syntax. As these representations are high-dimensional, out-of-the-box methods like KMeans do not work well. Thus, …
