• Title: Analyzing Polysemy Evolution Using Semantic Cells
• Authors: Yukio Ohsawa, Dingming Xue, Kaira Sekiguchi,
• Abstract summary: This paper shows that word polysemy is an evolutionary consequence of the modification of Semantic Cells. In particular, the analysis of a sentence sequence of 1000 sentences in some order for each of the four senses of the word Spring, collected using Chat GPT, shows that the word acquires the most polysemy monotonically.

• Abstract: The senses of words evolve. The sense of the same word may change from today to tomorrow, and multiple senses of the same word may be the result of the evolution of each other, that is, they may be parents and children. If we view Juba as an evolving ecosystem, the paradigm of learning the correct answer, which does not move with the sense of a word, is no longer valid. This paper is a case study that shows that word polysemy is an evolutionary consequence of the modification of Semantic Cells, which has al-ready been presented by the author, by introducing a small amount of diversity in its initial state as an example of analyzing the current set of short sentences. In particular, the analysis of a sentence sequence of 1000 sentences in some order for each of the four senses of the word Spring, collected using Chat GPT, shows that the word acquires the most polysemy monotonically in the analysis when the senses are arranged in the order in which they have evolved. In other words, we present a method for analyzing the dynamism of a word's acquiring polysemy with evolution and, at the same time, a methodology for viewing polysemy from an evolutionary framework rather than a learning-based one.

  Word-level saliency explanations are often used to communicate feature-attribution in text-based models. Recent studies found that superficial factors such as word length can distort human interpretation of the communicated saliency scores. We investigate how the marking of a word's neighboring words affect the explainee's perception of the word's importance in the context of a saliency explanation.

  We identify two features: (1) joint plausibility degrees of different possible interpretations, and (2) causal structures according to which certain words play a more substantial role in the processes. We applied this theory to a dataset of ambiguous phrases extracted from Psycholinguistics literature and their human plausibility collected by us.

  Associating a word's correct meaning in its historical context is a central challenge in diachronic research.

We provide a systematic comparison of dynamic Bayesian mixture models for semantic change with state-of-the-art embedding-based models.
