| Title: | Automatic learning of modality exclusivity norms with crosslingual word embeddings | Authors: | Chersoni, E Xiang, R Lu, Q Huang, CR |
Issue Date: | Dec-2020 | Source: | Proceedings of the Ninth Joint Conference on Lexical and Computational Semantics, Barcelona, Spain, December 2020, p. 32-38 | Abstract: | Collecting modality exclusivity norms for lexical items has recently become a common practice in psycholinguistics and cognitive research. However, these norms are available only for a relatively small number of languages and often involve a costly and time-consuming collection of ratings. In this work, we aim at learning a mapping between word embeddings and modality norms. Our experiments focused on crosslingual word embeddings, in order to predict modality association scores by training on a high-resource language and testing on a low-resource one. We ran two experiments, one in a monolingual and the other one in a crosslingual setting. Results show that modality prediction using off-the-shelf crosslingual embeddings indeed has moderate-to-high correlations with human ratings even when regression algorithms are trained on an English resource and tested on a completely unseen language. |
