BrainBench: A Brain-Image Test Suite for Distributional Semantic Models
Haoyan Xu, Brian A. Murphy, Alona Fyshe · 2016
The brain is the locus of our language ability, and so brain images can be used to ground linguistic theories.Here we introduce Brain-Bench, a lightweight system for testing distributional models of word semantics.We compare the performance of several models, and show that the performance on brain-image tasks differs from the performance on behavioral tasks.We release our benchmark test as part of a web service.
