Papers with compositionality estimates
A Large Automatically-Acquired All-Words List of Multiword Expressions Scored for Compositionality (L18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing literature on semantically idiosyncratic multiword expressions is limited to English . idiomatic expressions are phraseological units consisting of more than one lexeme and exhibit some kind of idiom. |
| Approach: | They propose to make available a large automatically-acquired all-words list of English multiword expressions scored for compositionality. |
| Outcome: | The proposed list improves the BLEU scores of the English multiword expressions. |
Modeling the Evolution of English Noun Compounds with Feature-Rich Diachronic Compositionality Prediction (2025.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Empirical research directly addressing these issues is limited to a small number of studies suggesting that compounding is a highly productive process. |
| Approach: | They represent English noun compounds as vectors of time-specific values and implement a set of features to classify them for present-day compositionality and assess the informativeness of the corresponding linguistic patterns. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method captures relevant and complementary information across approaches and shows that low-compositional meanings are reflected by a parallel drop in compositionality and sustained semantic change. |
