| Title: | Are word embeddings really a bad fit for the estimation of thematic fit? | Authors: | Chersoni, E Pannitto, L Santus, E Lenci, A Huang, CR |
Issue Date: | 2020 | Source: | Proceedings of the 12th Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2020), Marseille, France, May 2020, p. 5708-5713 | Abstract: | While neural embeddings represent a popular choice for word representation in a wide variety of NLP tasks, their usage for thematic fit modeling has been limited, as they have been reported to lag behind syntax-based count models. In this paper, we propose a complete evaluation of count models and word embeddings on thematic fit estimation, by taking into account a larger number of parameters and verb roles and introducing also dependency-based embeddings in the comparison. Our results show a complex scenario, where a determinant factor for the performance seems to be the availability to the model of reliable syntactic information for building the distributional representations of the roles. | Keywords: | Semantics Cognitive methods Statistical and machine learning methods |
