Ad Hoc Monitoring of Vocabulary Shifts over Time
Tom Kenter, Melvin Wevers, Pim Huijnen, Maarten de Rijke · 2015
Word meanings change over time. Detecting shifts in meaning for particular words has been the focus of much research recently. We address the complementary problem of monitoring shifts in vocabulary over time. That is, given a small seed set of words, we are interested in monitoring which terms are used over time to refer to the underlying concept denoted by the seed words.
