The authors change the word2vec skip-gram objective so that the context is predicted from the word vector concatenated with a weighted average of lemma vectors, with lemmas from MADAMIRA. They test the embeddings on an Arabic word… 2. **[Inference is Everything: Recasting Semantic Resources into a Unified Evaluation Framework](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/white-2017-inference-is-everything-recasting-semantic/)** *(2017)* The paper turns existing semantic annotations into textual-inference (RTE) pairs with templates. Three resources are recast: semantic proto-roles (SPR, about 155k pairs), FrameNet paraphrases (FN+, about 155k) and definite pronoun resolution (DPR, about 3.7k). Each pair is labelled entailed or not from the original… 3. **[Modelling the Usage of Discourse Connectives as Rational Speech Acts](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/yung-2016-modelling-usage-discourse-connectives-as/)** *(2016)* The paper predicts whether a writer marks a discourse relation with an explicit connective (but, therefore) or leaves it implicit, given the relation sense, on the Penn Discourse Treebank. ## Co-authors (7) - [Aaron Steven White](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/aaron-steven-white/) - [Benjamin Van Durme](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/benjamin-van-durme/) - [Frances Yung](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/frances-yung/) - Pamela Shapiro - [Pushpendre Rastogi](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/pushpendre-rastogi/) - Taku Komura - [Yuji Matsumoto](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yuji-matsumoto/) ## More papers in the library (5) Pages of the Research library: our summary, the ideas, references and who cites each. - [Findings of the IWSLT 2022 Evaluation Campaign](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/anastasopoulos-2022-findings-iwslt-2022-evaluation-campaign/) — Antonios Anastasopoulos, Loïc Barrault, Luisa Bentivogli, et al. · 2022 - [ReCoRD: Bridging the Gap between Human and Machine Commonsense Reading Comprehension](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhang-2018-record-bridging-gap-between-human/) — Sheng Zhang, Xiaodong Liu, Jingjing Liu, et al. · 2018 - [DyNet: The Dynamic Neural Network Toolkit](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/neubig-2017-dynet-dynamic-neural-network-toolkit/) — Graham Neubig, Chris Dyer, Yoav Goldberg, et al. · 2017 - [Ordinal Common-sense Inference](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhang-2017-ordinal-common-sense-inference/) — Sheng Zhang, Rachel Rudinger, Kevin Duh, et al. · 2017 - [Automatic Evaluation of Translation Quality for Distant Language Pairs](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/isozaki-2010-automatic-evaluation-translation-quality-distant/) — Hideki Isozaki, Tsutomu Hirao, Kevin Duh, et al. · 2010
