Introducing two Vietnamese Datasets for Evaluating Semantic Models of (Dis-)Similarity and Relatedness

Computation and Language 2018-04-20 v2

Abstract

We present two novel datasets for the low-resource language Vietnamese to assess models of semantic similarity: ViCon comprises pairs of synonyms and antonyms across word classes, thus offering data to distinguish between similarity and dissimilarity. ViSim-400 provides degrees of similarity across five semantic relations, as rated by human judges. The two datasets are verified through standard co-occurrence and neural network models, showing results comparable to the respective English datasets.
