CogniVal in Action: An Interface for Customizable Cognitive Word Embedding Evaluation

Proceedings of the 28th International Conference on Computational Linguistics: System Demonstrations

We demonstrate the functionalities of the new user interface for CogniVal. CogniVal is a framework for the cognitive evaluation of English word embeddings, which evaluates the quality of the embeddings based on their performance to predict human lexical representations from cognitive language processing signals from various sources. In this paper, we present an easy-to-use command line interface for CogniVal with multiple improvements over the original work, including the possibility to evaluate custom embeddings against custom cognitive data sources.
