Cross-lingual induction and transfer of verb classes based on word vector space specialisation

I Vulić, N Mrkšić, A Korhonen - arxiv preprint arxiv:1707.06945, 2017 - arxiv.org
Existing approaches to automatic VerbNet-style verb classification are heavily dependent on
feature engineering and therefore limited to languages with mature NLP pipelines. In this …

Evaluating the premises and results of four metaphor identification systems
