• Abstract: Modern neural networks (NNs), trained on extensive raw sentence data, construct distributed representations by compressing individual words into dense, continuous, high-dimensional vectors. These representations are expected to capture multi-level lexical meaning. In this thesis, our objective is to examine the efficacy of distributed representations from NNs in encoding lexical meaning. Initially, we identify and formalize three levels of lexical semantics: \textit{local}, \textit{global}, and \textit{mixed} levels. Then, for each level, we evaluate language models by collecting or constructing multilingual datasets, leveraging various language models, and employing linguistic analysis theories. This thesis builds a bridge between computational models and lexical semantics, aiming to complement each other.

  This study investigates the internal representations of verb-particle combinations within large language models (LLMs) We analyse the representational efficacy of its layers for various verb-particle constructions such as 'agree on', 'come back', and 'give up' Results show that BERT's middle layers most effectively capture syntactic structures, with significant variability in representational accuracy across different verb categories.

  Cross-lingual structured sentiment analysis task aims to transfer the knowledge from source language to target one. We propose a Knowledge-Enhanced Adversarial Model (textttKEAM) with both implicit distributed and explicit structural knowledge. We conduct experiments on five datasets and compare textttKEAM with both the supervised and unsupervised methods.

We empirically verify that well pre-trained Transformer models incorporated with appropriate training settings may effectively yield universal representation.
