• Title: SST-BERT at SemEval-2020 Task 1: Semantic Shift Tracing by Clustering in BERT-based Embedding Spaces
• Authors: K Vani, Sandra Mitrovic, Alessandro Antonucci, Fabio Rinaldi
• Abstract summary: We propose to identify clusters among different occurrences of each target word, considering these as representatives of different word meanings. Disagreements in obtained clusters naturally allow to quantify the level of semantic shift per each target word in four target languages. Our approach performs well both measured separately (per language) and overall, where we surpass all provided SemEval baselines.

• Abstract: Lexical semantic change detection (also known as semantic shift tracing) is a task of identifying words that have changed their meaning over time. Unsupervised semantic shift tracing, focal point of SemEval2020, is particularly challenging. Given the unsupervised setup, in this work, we propose to identify clusters among different occurrences of each target word, considering these as representatives of different word meanings. As such, disagreements in obtained clusters naturally allow to quantify the level of semantic shift per each target word in four target languages. To leverage this idea, clustering is performed on contextualized (BERT-based) embeddings of word occurrences. The obtained results show that our approach performs well both measured separately (per language) and overall, where we surpass all provided SemEval baselines.

  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.

  Self-supervised methods have shown remarkable progress in learning high-level semantics and low-level temporal correspondence. We propose a novel semantic-aware masked slot attention on top of the fused semantic features and correspondence maps. We adopt semantic- and instance-level temporal consistency as self-supervision to encourage temporally coherent object-centric representations.
