| ==== Unit 1 ==== | [[http://www.collocations.de/data/dsm_tutorial_part1.slides.pdf|presentation slides]] (PDF, 2.2 MB) – [[http://www.collocations.de/data/dsm_tutorial_part1.handout.pdf|handout]] (PDF, 2.1 MB) – R code: [[http://www.collocations.de/data/hands_on_part1.R|hands_on_part1.R]] |
| |
| | * motivation and geometric intuition |
| | * distributional vs. semantic similarity |
| | * hands-on: //software setup, first steps with the ''wordspace'' package// |
| |
| ==== Unit 2 ==== | ==== Part 2: The parameters of a DSM ==== |
| |
| | [[http://www.collocations.de/data/dsm_tutorial_part2.slides.pdf|presentation slides]] (PDF, 1.3 MB) – [[http://www.collocations.de/data/dsm_tutorial_part2.handout.pdf|handout]] (PDF, 1.0 MB) – R code: [[http://www.collocations.de/data/hands_on_part2.R|hands_on_part2.R]] – load your own data: [[http://www.collocations.de/data/hands_on_part2_input_formats.R|hands_on_part2_input_formats.R]] |
| | |
| | * formal definition of a DSM, taxonomy of parameters |
| | * collecting co-occurrence data: what counts as a context? |
| | * mathematical operations on DSM vectors |
| | * computing distances/similarities |
| | * hands-on: //building DSMs and exploring different parameter settings// |
| | |
| | ==== Part 3: Evaluation of DSM similarity ==== |
| | |
| | [[http://www.collocations.de/data/dsm_tutorial_part3.slides.pdf|presentation slides]] (PDF, 3.1 MB) – [[http://www.collocations.de/data/dsm_tutorial_part3.handout.pdf|handout]] (PDF, 2.2 MB) – R code: [[http://www.collocations.de/data/hands_on_part3.R|hands_on_part3.R]] – extended exercise: [[http://www.collocations.de/data/hands_on_part3_extended.R|hands_on_part3_extended.R]] |
| | |
| | * goals & principles of DSM evaluation |
| | * standard evaluation tasks (multiple choice, correlation, clustering) |
| | * narrowing down similarity: classifying semantic relations |
| | * systematic large-scale evaluation & its interpretation |
| | * hands-on: //evaluation of selected tasks// |
