Abstract:
In this thesis, I study the ability of compositional distributional semantics to model adjective modification. I present three studies that explore the degree to which semantic intuitions are grounded in the distributional representations of adjective-noun phrases, as well as provide insight into various linguistic phenomena by extracting unsupervised cues from these distributional representations. First, I investigate degrees of adjective modification. I contrast three types of adjectival modifiers – intersectively used color terms, subsectively used color terms, and intensional adjectives

Abstract:
The unifying theme of this dissertation is the importance of intermediate institutions for income distributions, inequality and intra-distributional mobility. First, we analyse the effects of informational problems in a general equilibrium model with dynamically evolving wealth distributions. Poor agents need to borrow funds but a non-commitment problem on the capital market leads to persistent inequality. The next important institution to be examined is the tax-benefit system. The third chapter investigates the relative performance of alternative unemployment benefit regimes in a search-theor

Abstract:
Although being one very simple statement, the distributional hypothesis - namely, words that occur in similar contexts are semantically similar - has been granted the role of main assumption in many computational linguistic techniques. This is mostly due to the fact that it allows to easily and automatically construct a representation of word meaning from a large textual input. Among the computational linguistic techniques that are corpus-based and adopt the distributional hypothesis, Distributional semantic models (DSMs) have been shown to be a very effective method in many semantic-related

Abstract:
Mental chronometry is a classical paradigm in cognitive psychology that uses response time and accuracy data in perceptual-motor tasks to elucidate the architecture and mechanisms of the underlying cognitive processes of human decisions. The redundant signals paradigm investigates the response behavior in Experimental tasks, where an integration of signals is required for a successful performance. The common finding is that responses are speeded for the redundant signals condition compared to single signals conditions. On a mean level, this redundant signals effect can be accounted for by seve

Lexical-semantic resources, including thesauri and WORDNET, have been successfully incorporated into a wide range of applications in Natural Language Processing. However they are very difficult and expensive to create and maintain, and their usefulness has been severely hampered by their limited coverage, bias and inconsistency. Automated and semi-automated methods for developing such resources are therefore crucial for further resource development and improved application performance.

Abstract:
Distributional Semantic Models have emerged as a strong theoretical and practical approach to model the meaning of words. Indeed, an increasing body of work has proved their value in accounting for a wide range of semantic phenomena. Yet, it is still unclear how we can use the semantic information contained in these representations to support the natural inferences that we produce in our every day usage of natural language. In this thesis, I explore a selection of challenging relations that exemplify these inferential processes. To this end, on one hand, I present new publicly available datase

Abstract:
Distributional models (DMs) are a family of unsupervised algorithms that represent the meaning of words as vectors. They have been shown to capture interesting aspects of semantics. Recent work has sought to compose word vectors in order to model phrases and sentences. The most commonly used measure of a compositional DM's performance to date has been the degree to which it agrees with human-provided phrase similarity scores. The contributions of this thesis are three-fold. First, I argue that existing intrinsic evaluations are unreliable as they make use of small and subjective gold-standard

Abstract:
This paper has two ambitions. First, we review the economic literature on tax coordination. Second, we argue that the taxation of capital is not an issue of efficiency, but instead an issue of equity. In particular, capital tax coordination can alter the vertical distribution of income between the production factors capital and labour. Capital is in perfectly elastic supply in a small open economy. Therefore the tax incidence falls to the immobile factor, labour. By contrast, capital is in inelastic supply at the international level, and therefore the capital tax incidence falls completely on

In the first part, we introduce a new method for learning good word representations using large quantities of unlabeled sentences. The method is based on a probabilistic model of sentence, using a hidden Markov model and a syntactic dependency tree. The latent variables, which correspond to the nodes of the dependency tree, aim at capturing the meanings of the words.
