Language in 3D: semantic tensor space

Distributional similarity methods have proven to be a valuable tool for the induction of semantic similarity. Up till now, most algorithms use two-way co-occurrence data to compute the meaning of words. Co-occurrence frequencies, however, need not be pairwise. One can easily imagine situations where it is desirable to investigate co-occurrence frequencies of three modes and beyond. In this presentation, we will investigate the use of tensors (the generalization of matrices) for the induction of language models based on multi-way co-occurrences. Using tensors – combined with appropriate factorization models – we are able to build semantically richer language models, that are useful in applications such as selectional preference induction and word sense discrimination.
