Decoding Word Embeddings with Brain-Based Semantic Features

Distilling the Evidence to Augment Fact Verification Models

no code implementations WS 2020 Beatrice Portelli, Jason Zhao, Tal Schuster, Giuseppe Serra, Enrico Santus

We propose, instead, a model-agnostic framework that consists of two modules: (1) a span extractor, which identifies the crucial information connecting claim and evidence; and (2) a classifier that combines claim, evidence, and the extracted spans to predict the veracity of the claim.

Are Word Embeddings Really a Bad Fit for the Estimation of Thematic Fit?

no code implementations LREC 2020 Emmanuele Chersoni, Ludovica Pannitto, Enrico Santus, Aless Lenci, ro, Chu-Ren Huang

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.

A Structured Distributional Model of Sentence Meaning and Processing

no code implementations17 Jun 2019 Emmanuele Chersoni, Enrico Santus, Ludovica Pannitto, Alessandro Lenci, Philippe Blache, Chu-Ren Huang

In this paper, we propose a Structured Distributional Model (SDM) that combines word embeddings with formal semantics and is based on the assumption that sentences represent events and situations.
