• Abstract: This paper describes the results of the first shared task on taxonomy enrichment for the Russian language. The participants were asked to extend an existing taxonomy with previously unseen words: for each new word their systems should provide a ranked list of possible (candidate) hypernyms. In comparison to the previous tasks for other languages, our competition has a more realistic task setting: new words were provided without definitions. Instead, we provided a textual corpus where these new terms occurred. For this evaluation campaign, we developed a new evaluation dataset based on unpublished RuWordNet data. The shared task features two tracks: "nouns" and "verbs". 16 teams participated in the task demonstrating high results with more than half of them outperforming the provided baseline.

  We evaluate our system in the AXOLOTL-24 shared task for Finnish, Russian and German languages. We use a graph-based clustering approach to predict mappings between unknown word usages and dictionary entries. Our system ranks first in Finnish and German, and ranks second in Russian on the Subtask 2 testphase leaderboard.

  We present an information retrieval based reverse dictionary system using modern pre-trained language models and approximate nearest neighbors search algorithms. The proposed approach is applied to an existing Estonian language lexicon resource, Sonaveeb (word web), with the purpose of enhancing and enriching it by introducing cross-lingual reverse dictionary functionality powered by semantic search.

  Spoken language understanding (SLU) tasks have been studied for many decades in the speech research community. There are not nearly as many SLU task benchmarks, and many of the existing ones use data that is not freely available to all researchers. Recent work has begun to introduce such benchmark for several tasks.

  Graph neural networks (GNNs) have received increasing attention in the research community and demonstrated their promising results on this canonical task. Despite the success, their performance could be largely jeopardized in practice since they are unable to capture high-order interaction between words. We propose a principled model -- hypergraph attention networks (HyperGAT) which can obtain more expressive power with less computational consumption for text representation learning.

  This paper presents the team BRUMS submission to SemEval-2020 Task 3: Graded Word Similarity in Context. The system utilise state-of-the-art contextualised word embeddings, which have some task-specific adaptations, including stacked embeddings and average embeddings. Following the final rankings, our approach is ranked within the top 5 solutions of each language while preserving the 1st position of Finnish subtask 2.

  We present an ensemble model that makes predictions based on context-free and context-dependent word representations. The key findings are that (1) context-free word representations are a powerful and robust baseline, (2) a sentence classification objective can be used to obtain useful context-dependent word representations, and (3) combining those representations increases performance on some datasets while decreasing performance on others.
