Rethinking Metrics for Lexical Semantic Change Detection

Roksana Goworek, Haim Dubossarsky

Lexical semantic change detection (LSCD) increasingly relies on contextualised language model embeddings, yet most approaches still quantify change using a small set of semantic ch…

Estranged Predictions: Measuring Semantic Category Disruption with Masked Language Modelling

Yuxuan Liu, Haim Dubossarsky, Ruth Ahnert

This paper examines how science fiction destabilises ontological categories by measuring conceptual permeability across the terms human, animal, and machine using masked language m…

Multilinguality Does not Make Sense: Investigating Factors Behind Zero-Shot Transfer in Sense-Aware Tasks

Roksana Goworek, Haim Dubossarsky

Cross-lingual transfer is central to modern NLP, enabling models to perform tasks in languages different from those they were trained on. A common assumption is that training on mo…

SenWiCh: Sense-Annotation of Low-Resource Languages for WiC using Hybrid Methods

Roksana Goworek, Harpal Karlcut, Muhammad Shezad +10

This paper addresses the critical need for high-quality evaluation datasets in low-resource languages to advance cross-lingual transfer. While cross-lingual transfer offers a key s…

LSC-Eval: A General Framework to Evaluate Methods for Assessing Dimensions of Lexical Semantic Change Using LLM-Generated Synthetic Data

Naomi Baes, Raphaël Merx, Nick Haslam +2

Lexical Semantic Change (LSC) provides insight into cultural and social dynamics. Yet, the validity of methods for measuring different kinds of LSC remains unestablished due to the…

Analyzing Semantic Change through Lexical Replacements

Francesco Periti, Pierluigi Cassotti, Haim Dubossarsky +1

Modern language models are capable of contextualizing words based on their surrounding context. However, this capability is often compromised due to semantic change that leads to w…
