Cross-Cutting Models of Lexical Semantics
Context-dependent word similarity can be measured over multiple cross-cutting dimensions. For example, lung and breath are similar thematically, while authoritative and superfici...

Non-linear tagging models with localist and distributed word representations
Distributed representations of words are attractive since they provide a means for measuring word similarity. However, most approaches to learning distributed representations are ...

A Bayesian Method for Robust Estimation of Distributional Similarities
Existing word similarity measures are not robust to data sparseness since they rely only on the point estimation of words' context profiles obtained from a limited amount of ...

Empirical Measurements of Lexical Similarity in Noun Phrase Conjuncts
The ability to detect similarity in conjunct heads is potentially a useful tool in helping to disambiguate coordination structures - a difficult task for parsers. We propose a di...

Acquiring Word Similarities with Higher Order Association Mining
We present a novel approach to mine word similarity in Textual Case Based Reasoning. We exploit indirect associations of words, in addition to direct ones for estimating their simi...
