• Abstract: Current breakthroughs in natural language processing have benefited dramatically from neural language models, through which distributional semantics can leverage neural data representations to facilitate downstream applications. Since neural embeddings use context prediction on word co-occurrences to yield dense vectors, they are inevitably prone to capture more semantic association than semantic similarity. To improve vector space models in deriving semantic similarity, we post-process neural word embeddings through deep metric learning, through which we can inject lexical-semantic relations, including syn/antonymy and hypo/hypernymy, into a distributional space. We introduce hierarchy-fitting, a novel semantic specialization approach to modelling semantic similarity nuances inherently stored in the IS-A hierarchies. Hierarchy-fitting attains state-of-the-art results on the common- and rare-word benchmark datasets for deriving semantic similarity from neural word embeddings. It also incorporates an asymmetric distance function to specialize hypernymy's directionality explicitly, through which it significantly improves vanilla embeddings in multiple evaluation tasks of detecting hypernymy and directionality without negative impacts on semantic similarity judgement. The results demonstrate the efficacy of hierarchy-fitting in specializing neural embeddings with semantic relations in late fusion, potentially expanding its applicability to aggregating heterogeneous data and various knowledge resources for learning multimodal semantic spaces.

  We discuss the semantic loss, which injects knowledge about such structure, defined symbolically, into training. It is agnostic to the arrangement of the symbols, and depends only on the semantics expressed thereby. It can be combined with both discriminative and generative neural models.

  The black-box structure of the deep neural network in pre-trained language models seriously limits the interpretability of the language modeling process. A Word-Context-Coupled Space (W2CSpace) is proposed by introducing the alignment processing between uninterpretable neural representation and interpretable statistical logic. Our language model can achieve better performance and highly credible interpretable ability compared to related state-of-the-art methods.

  A novel machine reasoning framework is proposed to disentangle source data so as to make it semantic-ready. In particular, a novel contrastive learning framework is proposed, whereby instance and cluster discrimination are performed on the data. Deep semantic clusters of highest confidence are considered learnable, semantic-rich data. Our simulation results showcase the superiority of our contrastive learning approach in terms of semantic impact and minimalism.

• Contextualized Semantic Distance between Highly Overlapped Texts [85.1541170468617]
  Overlapping frequently occurs in paired texts in natural language processing tasks like text editing and semantic similarity evaluation. This paper aims to address the issue with a mask-and-predict strategy. We take the words in the longest common sequence as neighboring words and use masked language modeling (MLM) to predict the distributions on their positions. Experiments on Semantic Textual Similarity show NDD to be more sensitive to various semantic differences, especially on highly overlapped paired texts.

We tested the model's predictions in a behavioral experiment where humans detected violations in number agreement in sentences with systematic variations in the singular/plural status of multiple nouns.
