Metaphorical Polysemy Detection: Conventional Metaphor Meets Word Sense Disambiguation (2022.coling-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Linguists distinguish between novel and conventional metaphors, a distinction which the metaphor detection task in NLP does not take into account. |
| Approach: | They propose a method which treats conventional metaphors as a property of word senses in a lexicon and combines metaphor detection with word sense disambiguation to train it. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms a state-of-the-art model in annotating metaphor in two subsets of WordNet and achieves .78 ROC-AUC score compared to baseline model . |
Annotating Chinese Word Senses with English WordNet: A Practice on OntoNotes Chinese Sense Inventories (2024.lrec-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a recent study has shown that large language models can be useful for cross-lingual applications. |
| Approach: | They propose to annotate Chinese word senses using English WordNet synsets . they examine the relationship between two annotators and find patterns among synset . |
| Outcome: | The proposed method shows that the annotators agree on 38% of the synsets compared with the original synset . the results highlight similarities between the synnotated synset and the WordNet structure . |
Are Large Language Models Good at Lexical Semantics? A Case of Taxonomy Learning (2024.lrec-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent studies on LLMs do not pay enough attention to linguistic and lexical semantic tasks, such as taxonomy learning. |
| Approach: | They propose a method for stochastic graph traversal and a new algorithm for data collection . they propose LLaMA-2 and Mistral for a lexical semantic task . |
| Outcome: | The proposed models can perform linguistic and lexical tasks, but they lack basic skills in taxonomy learning. |
Huge Automatically Extracted Training-Sets for Multilingual Word SenseDisambiguation (L18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Word Sense Disambiguation is a crucial task in Natural Language Processing . supervised systems need to be trained on word-by-word basis, a problem that is beyond reach for resource-rich languages like English. |
| Approach: | They release six large-scale sense-annotated datasets in multiple languages to pave the way for supervised multilingual Word Sense Disambiguation. |
| Outcome: | The results show that large-scale sense annotations can be used as training sets for supervised systems. |
Constructing Taxonomies from Pretrained Language Models (2021.naacl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | A variety of NLP tasks use taxonomic information, including question answering and information retrieval. |
| Approach: | They propose a method for constructing taxonomic trees using pretrained language models by incorporating web-retrieved glosses into the model. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model achieves 66.7 ancestor F1, a 20.0% relative increase over the previous best published model on English WordNet. |
Preserving Semantic Information from Old Dictionaries: Linking Senses of the ‘Altfranzösisches Wörterbuch’ to WordNet (2020.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Historical dictionaries of the pre-digital period are important resources for the study of older languages. |
| Approach: | They propose to use printed dictionaries to create a more easily accessible and more sustainable lexical database by automating the conversion process. |
| Outcome: | The ‘Altfranzösisches Wörterbuch’, an Old French dictionary published from 1925 onwards, shows how the printed dictionaries can be turned into a more easily accessible and more sustainable lexical database. |

Fahad Khan, Francisco J. Minaya Gómez, Rafael Cruz González, Harry Diakoff, Javier E. Diaz Vera, John P. McCrae, Ciara O’Loughlin, William Michael Short, Sander Stolk
| Challenge: | In this paper we discuss our preliminary work towards the construction of a WordNet for Old English, taking our inspiration from other similar WN construction projects for ancient languages such as Ancient Greek, Latin and Sanskrit. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a legacy Old English dictionary to build a WordNet for Old English using a lexicographic resource and the naisc system to automatically compile a provisional version of the WordNet. |
| Outcome: | The proposed OldEWN will be based on lemmas and definitions extracted from a legacy Old English dictionary and will be automatically compile and enriched by experts using the naisc system. |
English WordNet Random Walk Pseudo-Corpora (2020.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a random walk over the WordNet taxonomy generates a set of pseudo-corpora . a resource description paper describes the creation and properties of such pseudo-corporates . |
| Approach: | They propose to use random walk to generate a set of pseudo-corpora over the English WordNet taxonomy. |
| Outcome: | The proposed pseudo-corpora can be used to train taxonomic word embeddings . the proposed pseudo corpora are generated from a random walk over the English wordnet taxonomy . |
