• Abstract: We present a computationally-grounded word similarity dataset based on two well-known Natural Language Processing resources; text corpora and knowledge bases. This dataset aims to fulfil a gap in psycholinguistic research by providing a variety of quantifications of semantic similarity in an extensive set of noun pairs controlled by variables that play a significant role in lexical processing. The dataset creation has consisted in three steps, 1) computing four key psycholinguistic features for each noun; concreteness, frequency, semantic and phonological neighbourhood density; 2) pairing nouns across these four variables; 3) for each noun pair, assigning three types of word similarity measurements, computed out of text, Wordnet and hybrid embeddings. The present dataset includes noun pairs' information in Basque and European Spanish, but further work intends to extend it to more languages.

  Cross-lingual representation learning transfers knowledge from resource-rich data to resource-scarce ones to improve the semantic understanding abilities of different languages. We propose an Unsupervised Pseudo Semantic Data Augmentation (UniPSDA) mechanism for cross-lingual natural language understanding to enrich the training data without human interventions.

Our model facilitates the generation of reasoned semantic descriptions of concepts by selecting matrices directly associated with concrete conceptual knowledge.

  We present a dataset of most frequent Spanish verb-noun collocations and sentences where they occur. Each collocation is assigned to one of 37 lexical functions defined as classes for a hierarchical classification task. We combine the classes in a tree-based structure, and introduce classification objectives for each level of the structure.

  In cross-lingual language models, representations for many different languages live in the same space. We compute a task-based measure of cross-lingual alignment in the form of bitext retrieval performance. We examine a range of linguistic, quasi-linguistic, and training-related features as potential predictors of these alignment metrics.

  The activations of language transformers like GPT2 have been shown to linearly map onto brain activity during speech comprehension. Here, we propose a taxonomy to factorize the high-dimensional activations of language models into four classes: lexical, compositional, syntactic, and semantic representations. The results highlight two findings. First, compositional representations recruit a more widespread cortical network than lexical ones, and encompass the bilateral temporal, parietal and prefrontal cortices.
