Enhanced Metaphor Detection via Incorporation of External Knowledge Based on Linguistic Theories (2021.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for metaphor detection take little consideration on linguistic theories of metaphor detection. |
| Approach: | They propose two BERT-based models for metaphor detection based on examples and definitions of words from the Oxford Dictionary. |
| Outcome: | The proposed models achieve state-of-the-art performance on two established metaphor datasets and are highly interpretable. |

| Challenge: | Existing methods for identifying metaphoric expressions in text relied on manual effort to identify the basic and contextual meanings of words. |
| Approach: | They propose a model that integrates the Metaphor Identification Procedure (MIP) and Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) to extract and contrast the contextual meaning with the basic meaning of a word to determine whether it is used metaphorically in a sentence. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms methods that rely on embeddings or integrate only basic definitions and other external knowledge. |
