Finding the Neural Net: Deep-learning Idiom Type Identification from Distributional Vectors

The present work aims at automatically classifying Italian idiomatic and non-idiomatic phrases with a neural network model under constrains of data scarcity. Results are discussed in comparison with an existing unsupervised model devised for idiom type detection and a similar supervised classifier p...

description The present work aims at automatically classifying Italian idiomatic and non-idiomatic phrases with a neural network model under constrains of data scarcity.
