Designing Vocabulary Multiple-Choice Tests For Exploring Word Frequency Effects In Distributional Semantics

2026-07-22

Abstract excerpt

<p>The representation of word meanings by positions in a vector space is now widely used across a range of psychological models and technological applications. There exist many different approaches for creating such vectors, with Distributional Semantic Vectors (DSVs) often produced directly or indirectly from word co-occurrence statistics derived from large corpora of natural language. One of the most widely used...
