4. 2. Ensembles of Semantic Spaces : On Combining Models of Distributional Semantics with Applications in Healthcare

   Author : Aron Henriksson; Hercules Dalianis; Martin Duneld; Nigel Collier; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; natural language processing; machine learning; distributional semantics; ensemble learning; semantic space ensembles; medical informatics; electronic health records; Computer and Systems Sciences; data- och systemvetenskap;

   Abstract : Distributional semantics allows models of linguistic meaning to be derived from observations of language use in large amounts of text. By modeling the meaning of words in semantic (vector) space on the basis of co-occurrence information, distributional semantics permits a quantitative interpretation of (relative) word meaning in an unsupervised setting, i.

Phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics all get their fair share of attention. READ MORE

6. 4. Temporal Adverbs in Modern Standard Chinese : A Decompositional Inquiry

   Author : Jens Karlsson; Kinesiska; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; decompositionality; semantics; temporality; Chinese; word class theory; temporal adverbs;

   Abstract : Temporal adverbs (时间副词 shíjiān fùcí) in Modern Standard Chinese (MSC) are a group of words assuming the role of adverbial modifier (状语 zhuàngyǔ), expressing a temporal notion. Both characteristics are problematic; adverbs (副词 fùcí) are defined as a word class with the sole function of assuming the role of adverbial modifier, but several words traditionally categorized as temporal adverbs have syntactic functions outside this scope.

7. 5. (De)coding Modality : The Case of Must, May, Måste and Kan

   Abstract : This study investigates the mechanisms of (de)coding modality, focusing on the interpretation of utterances containing the modals must, may, måste, and kan. The main research question posed in this study is what enables the interlocutors to interpret modal expressions so that communicative goals are achieved. READ MORE
