  2. 6. Why the pond is not outside the frog? Grounding in contextual representations by neural language models

    Author : Mehdi Ghanimifard; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computational linguistics; Language grounding; Spatial language; Distributional semantics; Computer vision; Language modelling; Vision and language; Neural language model; Grounded language model;

    Abstract : In this thesis, to build a multi-modal system for language generation and understanding, we study grounded neural language models. Literature in psychology informs us that spatial cognition involves different aspects of knowledge that include visual perception and human interaction with the world. READ MORE

  4. 7. Detection and Aptness: A study in metaphor detection and aptness assessment through neural networks and distributional semantic spaces

    Author : Yuri Bizzoni; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; metaphor detection; deep neural network; distributional semantic spaces; metaphor aptness;

    Abstract : Metaphor is one of the most prominent, and most studied, figures of speech. While it is considered an element of great interest in several branches of linguistics, such as semantics, pragmatics and stylistics, its automatic processing remains an open challenge. READ MORE

  5. 8. Splitting rocks: Learning word sense representations from corpora and lexica

    Author : Luis Nieto Piña; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; language technology; natural language processing; distributional models; semantic representations; distributed representations; word senses; embeddings; word sense disambiguation; linguistic resources; corpus; lexicon; machine learning; neural networks;

    Abstract : The representation of written language semantics is a central problem of language technology and a crucial component of many natural language processing applications, from part-of-speech tagging to text summarization. These representations of linguistic units, such as words or sentences, allow computer applications that work with language to process and manipulate the meaning of text. READ MORE

  6. 9. Quantifying Meaning

    Author : Amaru Cuba Gyllensten; Anders Holst; Hinrich Schütze; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Datalogi; Computer Science;

    Abstract : Distributionella semantikmodeller är en klass av maskininlärningsmodeller med syfte att konstruera representationer som fångar semantik, i.e. mening, av objekt som bär mening på ett datadrivet sätt. READ MORE

  7. 10. Semantic change in interaction: Studies on the dynamics of lexical meaning

    Author : Bill Noble; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; semantic change; dialogue; computational linguistics; computational sociolinguistics;

    Abstract : This compilation thesis investigates how word meanings change. In particular, it's concerned semantic change at the levels of interaction and the speech community. To this end, the compiled studies employ methods from both formal and computational semantics. READ MORE
