Temporal Random Indexing: A System for Analysing Word Meaning over Time
During the last decade the surge in available data spanning different epochs has inspired a new analysis of cultural, social, and linguistic phenomena from a temporal perspective. This paper describes a method that enables the analysis of the time evolution of the meaning of a word. We propose Tempo...
