{ "pk": 29665, "title": "Untangling Semantic Similarity:Modeling Lexical Processing Experiments with Distributional Semantic Models.", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Distributional semantic models (DSMs) are substantially var-ied in the types of semantic similarity that they output. Despitethis high variance, the different types of similarity are oftenconflated as a monolithic concept in models of behaviouraldata. We apply the insight that word2vec’s representationscan be used for capturing both paradigmatic similarity (sub-stitutability) and syntagmatic similarity (co-occurrence) to twosets of experimental findings (semantic priming and the effectof semantic neighbourhood density) that have previously beenmodeled with monolithic conceptions of DSM-based seman-tic similarity. Using paradigmatic and syntagmatic similaritybased on word2vec, we show that for some tasks and typesof items the two types of similarity play complementary ex-planatory roles, whereas for others, only syntagmatic similar-ity seems to matter. These findings remind us that it is im-portant to develop more precise accounts of what we believeour DSMs represent, and provide us with novel perspectiveson established behavioural patterns.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "semantic similarity; priming; word2vec; distribu-tional semantics; semantic neighbourhood density." } ], "section": "Poster Session 1", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6zw0c30r", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Farhan", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Samir", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of Toronto", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Barend", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Beekhuizen", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of Toronto", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Suzanne", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Stevenson", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of Toronto", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2020-01-01T18:00:00Z", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/29665/galley/19522/download/" } ] }
