The Effect of Repeated Textual Encounters and Pictorial Glosses upon Acquiring Additional Word Senses
… the effects of multiple textual encounters of words and textual encounters of words supplemented with pictorial glosses upon the ability of a learner of French to infer additional word senses—senses of target words that were not previously encountered. Twenty-nine participants were randomly …

Splitting rocks: Learning word sense representations from corpora and lexica
… representations of linguistic units, such as words or sentences, allow computer applications that work with language to process and manipulate the meaning of text. In particular, a family of models has been successfully developed based on automatically learning semantics from large collections …

Language Acquisition in a Unification-Based Grammar Processing System Using a Real-World Knowledge Base
… is the existence of lexical gaps; that is, words or word senses which are not in the lexicon of the system. No lexicon, whether hand-coded or derived from an on-line dictionary, can ever be complete, in the sense of having entries for every word encountered in every syntactic category and …

Parse reranking with WordNet using a hidden variable model
… Collins and Terry Koo 2004) by incorporating WordNet (Miller et al. 1993) word senses. Instead of attempting explicit word sense disambiguation, we retain word sense ambiguity in a hidden variable model. We define a probability distribution over candidate parses and word sense assignments with …

Statistical parsing and unambiguous word representation in OpenCog’s Unsupervised Language Learning project
… process gathers statistics from co-occurrence of words in a sentence using different counting methods and estimates the pair-wise mutual information between word pairs. Using this knowledge and using a minimum spanning tree algorithm, the system automatically produces syntactic parses of the …

Modelling Metaphorical Extension
… have an uncanny ability to push the semantics of words beyond their boundaries. This ability manifests itself clearly when people extend words metaphorically. Computational models of metaphorical extension are rare, in large part due to limitations with the methodology that is currently used to …
