Sentiment annotations for 3827 simplified Chinese characters

Cheng Peng et al.

Summary: Sentiment analysis in Chinese natural language processing is usually based on sentiment annotations of words. This study collected sentiment annotations for 3827 Chinese characters, which demonstrated high reliability and were validated through comparison with word equivalents. The study also investigated the relationship between characters and other lexico-semantic variables, as well as character processing efficiency. The analysis of the association between character valence and word valence revealed semantic compositionality and sentiment fusion in larger Chinese linguistic units. These character ratings expand current Chinese sentiment lexicons and can be used for more accurate stimuli assessment and efficient sentiment analysis.

A comparative evaluation and analysis of three generations of Distributional Semantic Models

Alessandro Lenci et al.

Summary: Distributional semantics has undergone significant changes in recent decades, shifting from traditional count models to predictive models, and more recently to contextualized vectors generated by neural language models like BERT. This paper conducts a large-scale evaluation of type distributional vectors generated by static DSMs and BERT representations. The results show that static DSMs outperform BERT representations in most out-of-context semantic tasks and datasets. Furthermore, using Representational Similarity Analysis (RSA), the study reveals important differences in the semantic spaces generated by distributional models.

Valence and arousal ratings for 11,310 simplified Chinese words

Xu Xu et al.

Summary: This study presents valence and arousal ratings for 11,310 simplified Chinese words, validated through comparisons with prior ratings of smaller word samples. The availability of age-of-acquisition and concreteness ratings for a large portion of the words enriches the MELD-SCH database and provides insights into psycholinguistic constructs. Cross-language comparisons suggest cultural and sociopolitical influences on affect representations.

Images of the unseen: extrapolating visual representations for abstract and concrete words in a data-driven computational model

Fritz Guenther et al.

Summary: This study investigates the grounding of abstract concepts and proposes that systematic relations exist between language-based representations and perceptual experience. The findings show that participants' judgments align with the model's predictions, providing support for the grounding of abstract words.

Data-driven computational models reveal perceptual simulation in word processing

Marco A. Petilli et al.

Summary: Theories of grounded cognition suggest that concepts are made up of sensorimotor information, and perceptual properties can influence word processing even in purely linguistic tasks. However, previous studies have not consistently observed these effects due to critical shortcomings. This study uses an innovative method to independently quantify visual and language-based similarities, finding that visual similarity facilitates performance but also revealing a dissociation between visual and language-based effects.

Decoding Word Embeddings with Brain-Based Semantic Features

Emmanuele Chersoni et al.

Summary: This study explores the semantic properties encoded in word embeddings by mapping them onto interpretable vectors, analyzing different types of embeddings in retrieval tasks and semantic feature encoding. It introduces a new and simple method to extract human-interpretable semantic representations from distributional vectors.

Age-Related Differences in Affective Norms for Chinese Words (AANC)

Pingping Liu et al.

Summary: This study presents the first large-scale age-related affective norms for 2,061 four-character Chinese words, revealing that older adults perceive positive words as more arousing and less controllable, and evaluate negative words as less arousing and more controllable. The findings suggest the presence of a positivity effect among older adults, indicating a cognitive bias towards positive words.

Summary: This study combined dimensional and categorical approaches to emotion, developing normative ratings for a large set of Turkish words. The findings show relationships between arousal and valence dimensions, positive correlations among negative emotions, and negative correlations between positive and negative emotions.

Redundancy, isomorphism, and propagative mechanisms between emotional and amodal representations of words: A computational study

Jose A. Martinez-Huertas et al.

Summary: This study introduces a computational model that emulates the link between emotional and amodal representations of words using vector space models, emotional feature-based models, and neural networks. The analysis compares the semantic neighborhood hypothesis with the specific dimensionality hypothesis in the embodiment debate, highlighting the need for complex links beyond amodal distances of vector spaces. Results suggest that there are redundancy and propagative mechanisms, but no isomorphism between emotional rates and amodal distances.
