Poetry to Prose Conversion in Sanskrit as a Linearisation Task: A Case for Low-Resource Languages (P19-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Obtaining the proper word ordering, called as the prose ordering, from a verse is often considered a task which requires linguistic expertise. |
| Approach: | They propose a word ordering (linearisation) task that ignores the word arrangement at the verse side. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms current models in word ordering for the translation task in Sanskrit. |
Learning Lexical Subspaces in a Distributional Vector Space (2020.tacl-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing word embeddings that can cluster distributionally related words are weak, but they can be used to cluster words that might not be semantically similar. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework that injects lexical-semantic relations into distributional word embeddings by defining subspaces of the distributional vector space in which a lexically related relation should hold. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework outperforms existing systems on relatedness and hypernymy tasks while being competitive on word similarity tasks. |
