The relation between semantic memory structure, associative abilities, and verbal and figural creativity (2020, background): “However, the advent of text-based corpus analysis tools makes it possible for quantifying semantic distance between pairs of words within a high-dimensional semantic space (Green, 2016; Heinen & Johnson, 2018; Mandera et al., 2015, 2017).”
Distributional Models of Word Meaning (2018, background): “Mandera et al. (2017) also show that count and prediction models produce very similar results.”
Evaluation by Association: A Systematic Study of Quantitative Word Association Evaluation (2017, background): “To fill in this gap, recent work has proposed using subconscious cognitive measures of semantic connection instead, as a proxy for measuring the ability of statistical models to tackle various problems in human language understanding (Ettinger and Linzen, 2016; Søgaard, 2016; Mandera et al., 2017).”
