| Challenge: | Existing methods for book success prediction are not effective. |
| Approach: | They propose to represent a book as a spectrum of concepts based on the association score between its content embedding and a global embeddment for a set of semantically linked word clusters. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method outperforms the previous methods for book success prediction. |

Automatic Learning of Modality Exclusivity Norms with Crosslingual Word Embeddings (2020.starsem-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Normative studies on modality for English words are relatively common . however, they are limited to a relatively small number of languages and require costly ratings. |
| Approach: | They aim to learn a mapping between word embeddings and modality norms by training on a high-resource language and testing on . monolingual and crosslingual word embeds are used to predict modality association scores . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model predicts modality associations even when trained on an English resource and tested on a completely unseen language. |
Assessing Polyseme Sense Similarity through Co-predication Acceptability and Contextualised Embedding Distance (2020.starsem-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Co-predication is a commonly used linguistic test to tell apart shifts in polysemic sense from changes in homonymic meaning. |
| Approach: | They examine how co-predication acceptability relates to explicit ratings of polyseme word sense similarity and how well they can be predicted through the distance between target words’ contextualised word embeddings. |
| Outcome: | The proposed measures can be predicted through the distance between target words’ contextualised word embeddings. |
KGLM: Integrating Knowledge Graph Structure in Language Models for Link Prediction (2023.starsem-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Knowledge graphs are incomplete in the information they represent, necessitating knowledge graph completion tasks. |
| Approach: | They propose a new entity/relation embedding layer that learns to differentiate distinctive entity and relation types, thus allowing the model to learn the structure of the knowledge graph. |
| Outcome: | The proposed language model learns to differentiate distinct entity and relation types, thus learning the structure of the knowledge graph. |
Representation of Lexical Stylistic Features in Language Models’ Embedding Space (2023.starsem-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | lexical stylistic notions such as complexity, formality, and figurativeness can be identified in pretrained Language Models . static embeddings encode these features more accurately at the level of words and phrases whereas contextualized LMs perform better on sentences. |
| Approach: | They propose to derive a vector representation for stylistic notions from seed pairs . they find that static embeddings encode stylistic features more accurately . |
| Outcome: | The proposed representations can be used to characterize new texts in terms of these dimensions using a small number of seed pairs. |

| Challenge: | Prior work has explored the ability of computational models to predict word semantic fit with a given predicate. |
| Approach: | They compare Transformers Language Models to SDM to assess their performance . they found that TLMs do not capture important aspects of event knowledge . people can discriminate between typical and atypical events, they say . |
| Outcome: | The proposed models can achieve comparable performance to SDM, but they lack important aspects of event knowledge. |
Identifying Emotional and Polar Concepts via Synset Translation (2024.starsem-1)

| Challenge: | Emotion identification and polarity classification seek to determine sentiment expressed by a writer. |
| Approach: | They propose a translation-based method for labeling each individual word sense and lexical concept into 20 different languages and translate them into multilingual sentiment lexicons. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method outperforms existing methods and is available on GitHub . it contains 12,429 emotional synsets and 15,567 polar synset. |
Recovering Lexically and Semantically Reused Texts (2021.starsem-1)

| Challenge: | Writers often repurpose material from existing texts when composing new documents. |
| Approach: | They propose to use local text reuse detection to detect localized regions of lexically or semantically similar text embedded in otherwise unrelated material. |
| Outcome: | The proposed methods perform better on three LTRD tasks, detecting plagiarism, modeling journalists’ use of press releases, and identifying scientists’ citation of earlier papers. |
