• Title: Combining Pre-trained Word Embeddings and Linguistic Features for Sequential Metaphor Identification
• Authors: Rui Mao, Chenghua Lin, Frank Guerin
• Abstract summary: We tackle the problem of identifying metaphors in text, treated as a sequence tagging task. The pre-trained word embeddings GloVe, ELMo and BERT have individually shown good performance on sequential metaphor identification. We show that leveraging GloVe, ELMo and feature-based BERT can significantly outperform any single word embedding method and the combination of the two embeddings.

• Abstract: We tackle the problem of identifying metaphors in text, treated as a sequence tagging task. The pre-trained word embeddings GloVe, ELMo and BERT have individually shown good performance on sequential metaphor identification. These embeddings are generated by different models, training targets and corpora, thus encoding different semantic and syntactic information. We show that leveraging GloVe, ELMo and feature-based BERT based on a multi-channel CNN and a Bidirectional LSTM model can significantly outperform any single word embedding method and the combination of the two embeddings. Incorporating linguistic features into our model can further improve model performance, yielding state-of-the-art performance on three public metaphor datasets. We also provide in-depth analysis on the effectiveness of leveraging multiple word embeddings, including analysing the spatial distribution of different embedding methods for metaphors and literals, and showing how well the embeddings complement each other in different genres and parts of speech.

• Exploring Narrative Clustering in Large Language Models: A Layerwise Analysis of BERT [0.0]
  This study investigates the internal mechanisms of BERT, a transformer-based large language model. Using a dataset of narratives developed via GPT-4, we analyze BERT's layerwise activations to uncover patterns of localized neural processing. We reveal that BERT exhibits strong clustering based on narrative content in its later layers, with progressively compact and distinct clusters.

  We propose FUSE, an approach to approximating an adapter layer that maps from one model's textual embedding space to another, even across different tokenizers. We show the efficacy of our approach via multi-objective optimization over vision-language and causal language models for image captioning and sentiment-based image captioning.
