Elucidating Conceptual Properties from Word Embeddings
Kyoung-Rok Jang, Sung-Hyon Myaeng · 2017
In this paper, we introduce a method of identifying the components (i.e.dimensions) of word embeddings that strongly signifies properties of a word.By elucidating such properties hidden in word embeddings, we could make word embeddings more interpretable, and also could perform property-based meaning comparison.With the capability, we can answer questions like "To what degree a given word has the property cuteness?"or "In what perspective two words are similar?".We verify our method by examining how the strength of property-signifying components correlates with the degree of prototypicality of a target word.
