New experiments in distributional representations of synonymy
2005
Proceedings of the Ninth Conference on Computational Natural Language Learning - CONLL '05
unpublished
Recent work on the problem of detecting synonymy through corpus analysis has used the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) as a benchmark. ...
We overcome this limitation by generating a TOEFL-like test using WordNet, containing thousands of questions and composed only of words occurring with sufficient corpus frequency to support sound distributional ...

[chapter]
2007
Current issues in linguistic theory
Our experiments demonstrate that GLSA term vectors efficiently capture semantic relations between terms and outperform related approaches on the synonymy test. ...
Document indexing and representation of termdocument relations are very important issues for document clustering and retrieval. ...

Concurrent Learning of Semantic Relations
[article]
2018
arXiv
pre-print
Preliminary results based on simple learning strategies and state-of-the-art distributional feature representations show that concurrent learning can lead to improvements in a vast majority of tested situations ...
multiple semantic relations (e.g. hypernymy vs. synonymy vs. random). ...
In distributional methods, the decision whether x is within a semantic relation with y is based on the distributional representation of these words following the distributional hypothesis (Harris, 1954 ...

Unraveling Antonym's Word Vectors through a Siamese-like Network
2019
Proceedings of the 57th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics
The approach makes use of the claim that the antonyms in common of a word tend to be synonyms. ...
Consequently, pairs of antonyms and synonyms may have similar word vectors. We present an approach to unravel antonymy and synonymy from word vectors based on a siamese network inspired approach. ...
Many research studies and experiments have focused on the construction of vector representations that deem antonymy. ...

Semantic Specialisation of Distributional Word Vector Spaces using Monolingual and Cross-Lingual Constraints
[article]
2017
arXiv
pre-print
The effectiveness of our approach is demonstrated with state-of-the-art results on semantic similarity datasets in six languages. ...
We next show that Attract-Repel-specialised vectors boost performance in the downstream task of dialogue state tracking (DST) across multiple languages. ...
In our experiments, the remaining six languages (HE, HR, SV, GA, VI, FA) serve as examples of lower-resource languages, as they have no monolingual synonymy constraints. ...

Counter-fitting Word Vectors to Linguistic Constraints
[article]
2016
arXiv
pre-print
In this work, we present a novel counter-fitting method which injects antonymy and synonymy constraints into vector space representations in order to improve the vectors' capability for judging semantic ...
Applying this method to publicly available pre-trained word vectors leads to a new state of the art performance on the SimLex-999 dataset. ...
A new feature of this version is that it assigns relation types to its word pairs. We identify the Equivalence relation with synonymy and Exclusion with antonymy. ...

Bag of Visual Words Method based on PLSA and Chi-Square Model for Object Category
2015
KSII Transactions on Internet and Information Systems
The problem of visual words' synonymy and ambiguity always exist in the conventional bag of visual words (BoVW) model based object category methods. ...
Firstly, Probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis (PLSA) is used to analyze the semantic co-occurrence probability of visual words, infer the latent semantic topics in images, and get the latent topic distributions ...
However, there exists some synonymy and ambiguity problems in visual words [13] [14] [15] as well as the seriously quantization error of compact histogram representation. ...

Lexical semantic relatedness and online new event detection (poster session)

Proceedings of the 23rd annual international ACM SIGIR conference on Research and development in information retrieval - SIGIR '00
Summary In this paper we propose a novel use for lexical chains as document representations within the Topic Detection domain.
Acknowledgments ...
Description of Experiment Our new approach to document representation is based on the idea of conceptual indexing using lexical chaining. ...
In particular, we are concerned with the huge increase in the availability of multiple news sources reporting essentially the same news. ...

Using the Outlier Detection Task to Evaluate Distributional Semantic Models

Machine Learning and Knowledge Extraction
In this article, we define the outlier detection task and use it to compare neural-based word embeddings with transparent count-based distributional representations. ...
In general, syntax-based models tend to perform better than those based on bag-of-words for this specific task. Similar experiments were carried out for Portuguese with similar results. ...

A Neural Network Model for Efficient Antonymy-Synonymy Classification by Exploiting Co-occurrence Contexts and Word-Structure Patterns
2020
International Journal of Intelligent Engineering and Systems
This task is hard because antonyms and synonyms tend to occur in highly similar contexts. Recent studies often focus on exploiting densevector representations of words to deal with this problem. ...
Antonymy and synonymy are basic semantic relations between words. Automatically distinguishing between antonymy and synonymy is an important task in natural language processing. ...
In the unsupervised approach, distributional measures are used to distinguish synonymy from antonymy in an unsupervised manner. ...
