Modelling how concepts are related is a central topic in Lexical Semantics. A common strategy is to rely on knowledge graphs (KGs) such as ConceptNet, and to model the relation between two concepts as a set of paths. However, KGs are…

We introduce Entropy2Vec, a novel framework for deriving cross-lingual language representations by leveraging the entropy of monolingual language models. Unlike traditional typological inventories that suffer from feature sparsity and…

Being inspired by the success of \texttt{word2vec} \citep{mikolov2013distributed} in capturing analogies, we study the conjecture that analogical relations can be represented by vector spaces. Unlike many previous works that focus on the…
