Semantics derived automatically from language corpora contain human-like biases (2016, neutral): “In pilot-work experiments along the lines of those presented here (on free associations rather than implicit associations) raw co-occurrence probabilities were shown to lead to much weaker results (14, 15).”
Extracting semantic representations from word co-occurrence statistics: A computational study (2007, methodology): “These claims have direct relevance to both the learning of lexical semantics by humans, and the use of such representations learnt by computers but used in models of human psychological performance (e.g., Lowe & McDonald, 2000).”
Representing words as regions in vector space (2009, methodology): “In psychology, vector space models have been used to model synonymy (Landauer and Dumais, 1997; Padó and Lapata, 2007), lexical priming phenomena (Lowe and McDonald, 2000), and similarity judgments (McDonald and Ramscar, 2001).”
Vector Space Models of Lexical Meaning (2015, methodology): “For example, Pado & Lapata (2007) use semantic priming (Lowe & McDonald, 2000), modelling the reading time for prime-target pairs using the semantic similarity between the prime and target.”
Dependency-Based Construction of Semantic Space Models (2007, methodology): “A large number of modeling studies in psycholinguistics have focused on simulating semantic priming phenomena (Lowe and McDonald 2000; McDonald 2000; Lund and Burgess 1996; McDonald and Brew 2004).”
Testing the Distributioanl Hypothesis: The influence of Context on Judgements of Semantic Similarity (2001, background): “Such simple distributional knowledge has been implicated in a variety of language processing behaviours, such as lexical priming (e.g., Lowe & McDonald, 2000; Lund, Burgess & Atchley, 1995; McDonald & Lowe, 1998), synonym selection (Landauer & Dumais, 1997), retrieval in analogical reasoning…”
Compositional Operators in Distributional Semantics (2014, background): “Models like these have been extensively studied and implemented in the past years, see for example the work of Lowe [26] and Lowe and McDonald [27].”
