UNIMIB @ DIACR-Ita: Aligning Distributional Embeddings with a Compass for Semantic Change Detection in the Italian Language (short paper)
In this paper, we present our results related to the EVALITA 2020 challenge, DIACR-Ita, for semantic change detection for the Italian language. Our approach is based on measuring the semantic distance across time-specific word vectors generated with Compass-aligned Distributional Embeddings (CADE). We first generate temporal embeddings with CADE, a strategy to align word embeddings that are specific for each time period; the quality of this alignment is the main asset of our proposal. We then measure the semantic shift of each word, combining two different semantic shift measures. Eventually, we classify a word meaning as changed or not changed by defining a threshold over the semantic distance across time.
