DESCRIPTION:Distributional semantic models have become a mainstay in NLP\,
  providing useful features for downstream tasks. However\, assessing long-
 term progress requires explicit long-term goals. In this paper\, I take a 
 broad linguistic perspective\, looking at how well current models can deal
  with various semantic challenges. Given stark differences between models 
 proposed in different subfields\, a broad perspective is needed to see how
  we could integrate them. I conclude that\, while linguistic insights can 
 guide the design of model architectures\, future progress will require bal
 ancing the often conflicting demands of linguistic expressiveness and comp
 utational tractability.\n\nhttps://cl-cam-ac-uk.zoom.us/j/98193261746?pwd=
