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.

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

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

The ubiquity of metaphor in our everyday communication makes it an important problem for natural language understanding.

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

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.

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