• Abstract: In lexical semantics, full-sentence segmentation and segment labeling of various phenomena are generally treated separately, despite their interdependence. We hypothesize that a unified lexical semantic recognition task is an effective way to encapsulate previously disparate styles of annotation, including multiword expression identification / classification and supersense tagging. Using the STREUSLE corpus, we train a neural CRF sequence tagger and evaluate its performance along various axes of annotation. As the label set generalizes that of previous tasks (PARSEME, DiMSUM), we additionally evaluate how well the model generalizes to those test sets, finding that it approaches or surpasses existing models despite training only on STREUSLE. Our work also establishes baseline models and evaluation metrics for integrated and accurate modeling of lexical semantics, facilitating future work in this area.

  We take an initial step on measuring the role of shared semantics among subwords in the encoder-only multilingual language models (mLMs) We form "semantic tokens" by merging the semantically similar subwords and their embeddings. inspections on the grouped subwords show that they exhibit a wide range of semantic similarities.

• Assessing Word Importance Using Models Trained for Semantic Tasks [0.0]
  We derive word significance from models trained to solve semantic task: Natural Language Inference and Paraphrase Identification. We evaluate their relevance using a so-called cross-task evaluation. Our method can be used to identify important words in sentences without any explicit word importance labeling in training.

  In this paper, contextual hints are exploited via learning a context-aware classifier. Our method is model-agnostic and can be easily applied to generic segmentation models. With only negligible additional parameters and +2% inference time, decent performance gain has been achieved on both small and large models.

  We present the characteristics of existing word embedding approaches and analyze them with regard to many classification tasks. Traditional approaches mostly use matrix factorization to produce word representations, and they are not able to capture the semantic and syntactic regularities of the language very well. On the other hand, Neural-network-based approaches can capture sophisticated regularities of the language and preserve the word relationships in the generated word representations.

• Enhanced word embeddings using multi-semantic representation through lexical chains [1.8199326045904998]
  We propose two novel algorithms, called Flexible Lexical Chain II and Fixed Lexical Chain II. These algorithms combine the semantic relations derived from lexical chains, prior knowledge from lexical databases, and the robustness of the distributional hypothesis in word embeddings as building blocks forming a single system. Our results show the integration between lexical chains and word embeddings representations sustain state-of-the-art results, even against more complex systems.

SChME usesa model ensemble combining signals of distributional models (word embeddings) and wordfrequency models where each model casts a vote indicating the probability that a word sufferedsemantic change according to that feature.

  Sememes, defined as the minimum semantic units of human languages, have been proven useful in many NLP tasks. We propose a Sememe Correspondence Pooling (SCorP) model, which is able to capture this kind of matching to predict sememes. We evaluate our model and baseline methods on a famous sememe KB HowNet and find that our model achieves state-of-the-art performance.
