Title
Characterising Semantic Relatedness using Interpretable Directions in Conceptual Spaces.
Abstract
Various applications, such as critique-based recommendation systems and analogical classifiers, rely on knowledge of how different entities relate. In this paper, we present a methodology for identifying such semantic relationships, by interpreting them as qualitative spatial relations in a conceptual space. In particular, we use multi-dimensional scaling to induce a conceptual space from a relevant text corpus and then identify directions that correspond to relative properties such as "more violent than" in an entirely unsupervised way. We also show how a variant of FOIL is able to learn natural categories from such qualitative representations, by simulating a fortiori inference, an important pattern of commonsense reasoning.
