We have empirically tested the Temporal Referencing method for lexical semantic change and show that, by avoiding alignment, it is less affected by this noise. We show that, trained on a diachronic corpus, the skip-gram with negative sampling architecture with temporal referencing outperforms alignment models on a synthetic task as well as a manual testset. We introduce a principled way to simulate lexical semantic change and systematically control for possible biases. }, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 57th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics, Florence, Italy, July 28 - August 2, 2019 / Anna Korhonen, David Traum, Lluís Màrquez (Editors)}, author = {Dubossarsky, Haim and Hengchen, Simon and Tahmasebi, Nina and Schlechtweg, Dominik}, year = {2019}, publisher = {Association for Computational Linguistics}, address = {Stroudsburg, PA}, ISBN = {978-1-950737-48-2}, } @inProceedings{tahmasebi-risse-2017-finding-256637, title = {Finding Individual Word Sense Changes and their Delay in Appearance}, abstract = {We present a method for detecting word sense changes by utilizing automatically induced word senses. Our method works on the level of individual senses and allows a word to have e.g. one stable sense and then add a novel sense that later experiences change. Senses are grouped based on polysemy to find linguistic concepts and we can find broadening and narrowing as well as novel (polysemous and homonymic) senses. We evaluate on a testset, present recall and estimates of the time between expected and found change.}, booktitle = {Proceedings of Recent Advances in Natural Language Processing 2017.
