Decoding Brain Activity Associated with Literal and Metaphoric Sentence Comprehension Using Distributional Semantic Models

no code implementations TACL 2020 Vesna G. Djokic, Jean Maillard, Luana Bulat, Ekaterina Shutova

We evaluate a range of semantic models (word embeddings, compositional, and visual models) in their ability to decode brain activity associated with reading of both literal and metaphoric sentences.

Modeling Affirmative and Negated Action Processing in the Brain with Lexical and Compositional Semantic Models

no code implementations ACL 2019 Vesna Djokic, Jean Maillard, Luana Bulat, Ekaterina Shutova

Recent work shows that distributional semantic models can be used to decode patterns of brain activity associated with individual words and sentence meanings.

Deconstructing multimodality: visual properties and visual context in human semantic processing

no code implementations SEMEVAL 2019 Christopher Davis, Luana Bulat, Anita Lilla Vero, Ekaterina Shutova

Multimodal semantic models that extend linguistic representations with additional perceptual input have proved successful in a range of natural language processing (NLP) tasks.

Learning to Negate Adjectives with Bilinear Models

no code implementations EACL 2017 Laura Rimell, Am Mabona, la, Luana Bulat, Douwe Kiela

We learn a mapping that negates adjectives by predicting an adjective{'}s antonym in an arbitrary word embedding model.

Modelling metaphor with attribute-based semantics

no code implementations EACL 2017 Luana Bulat, Stephen Clark, Ekaterina Shutova

One of the key problems in computational metaphor modelling is finding the optimal level of abstraction of semantic representations, such that these are able to capture and generalise metaphorical mechanisms.

Virtual Embodiment: A Scalable Long-Term Strategy for Artificial Intelligence Research

no code implementations24 Oct 2016 Douwe Kiela, Luana Bulat, Anita L. Vero, Stephen Clark

Meaning has been called the "holy grail" of a variety of scientific disciplines, ranging from linguistics to philosophy, psychology and the neurosciences.
