COS960: A Chinese Word Similarity Dataset of 960 Word Pairs

Word similarity computation is a widely recognized task in the field of lexical semantics. Most proposed tasks test on similarity of word pairs of single morpheme, while few works focus on words of two morphemes or more morphemes. In this work, we propose COS960, a benchmark dataset with 960 pairs of Chinese wOrd Similarity, where all the words have two morphemes in three Part of Speech (POS) tags with their human annotated similarity rather than relatedness. We give a detailed description of dataset construction and annotation process, and test on a range of word embedding models. The dataset of this paper can be obtained from https://github.com/thunlp/COS960.

Semantic Modeling of Textual Relationships in Cross-Modal Retrieval

Feature modeling of different modalities is a basic problem in current research of cross-modal information retrieval. Existing models typically project texts and images into one embedding space, in which semantically similar information will have a shorter distance. Semantic modeling of textural relationships is notoriously difficult. In this paper, we propose an approach to model texts using a featured graph by integrating multi-view textual relationships including semantic relations, statistical co-occurrence, and prior relations in the knowledge base. A dual-path neural network is adopted to learn multi-modal representations of information and cross-modal similarity measure jointly. We use a Graph Convolutional Network (GCN) for generating relation-aware text representations, and use a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) with non-linearities for image representations. The cross-modal similarity measure is learned by distance metric learning. Experimental results show that, by leveraging the rich relational semantics in texts, our model can outperform the state-of-the-art models by 3.4% and 6.3% on accuracy on two benchmark datasets.

OpenHowNet: An Open Sememe-based Lexical Knowledge Base

In this paper, we present an open sememe-based lexical knowledge base OpenHowNet. Based on well-known HowNet, OpenHowNet comprises three components: core data which is composed of more than 100 thousand senses annotated with sememes, OpenHowNet Web which gives a brief introduction to OpenHowNet as well as provides online exhibition of OpenHowNet information, and OpenHowNet API which includes several useful APIs such as accessing OpenHowNet core data and drawing sememe tree structures of senses. In the main text, we first give some backgrounds including definition of sememe and details of HowNet. And then we introduce some previous HowNet and sememe-based research works. Last but not least, we detail the constituents of OpenHowNet and their basic features and functionalities. Additionally, we briefly make a summary and list some future works.
