Neural Latent Relational Analysis to Capture Lexical Semantic Relations in a Vector Space [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
Capturing the semantic relations of words in a vector space contributes to many natural language processing tasks. One promising approach exploits lexico-syntactic patterns as features of word pairs.

SUPERPOSITION OF GRAMMATICAL AND STATISTICAL LEARNING IN A SECOND LANGUAGE: AN EYE‐TRACKING STUDY

Studia Linguistica, Volume 79, Issue 1, Page 276-312, April 2025.
