UNBNLP at SemEval-2018 Task 10: Evaluating unsupervised approaches to capturing discriminative attributes

Milton King, Ali Hakimi Parizi, Paul Cook


Abstract
In this paper we present three unsupervised models for capturing discriminative attributes based on information from word embeddings, WordNet, and sentence-level word co-occurrence frequency. We show that, of these approaches, the simple approach based on word co-occurrence performs best. We further consider supervised and unsupervised approaches to combining information from these models, but these approaches do not improve on the word co-occurrence model.
