"The Rodney Dangerfield of Stylistic Devices": End-to-End Detection and Extraction of Vossian Antonomasia Using Neural Networks.

ABSTRACT: Vossian Antonomasia (VA) is a well-known stylistic device based on attributing a certain property to a person by relating them to another person who is famous for this property. Although the morphological and semantic characteristics of this phenomenon have long been the subject of linguistic research, little is known about its distribution. In this paper, we describe end-to-end approaches for detecting and extracting VA expressions from large news corpora in order to study VA more broadly. We present two types of approaches: binary sentence classifiers that detect whether or not a sentence contains a VA expression, and sequence tagging of all parts of a VA on the word level, enabling their extraction. All models are based on neural networks and outperform previous approaches, best results are obtained with a fine-tuned BERT model. Furthermore, we study the impact of training data size and class imbalance by adding negative (and possibly noisy) instances to the training data. We also evaluate the models' performance on out-of-corpus and real-world data and analyze the ability of the sequence tagging model to generalize in terms of new entity types and syntactic patterns.

Project description:While there is an abundance of research on neural networks that are “inspired” by the brain, few mimic the critical temporal compute features that allow the brain to efficiently perform complex computations. Even fewer methods emulate the heterogeneity of learning produced by biological neurons. Memory devices, such as memristors, are also investigated for their potential to implement neuronal functions in electronic hardware. However, memristors in computing architectures typically operate as non-volatile memories, either as storage or as the weights in a multiply-and-accumulate function that requires direct access to manipulate memristance via a costly learning algorithm. Hence, the integration of memristors into architectures as time-dependent computational units is studied, starting with the development of a compact and versatile mathematical model that is capable of emulating flux-linkage controlled analog (FLCA) memristors and their unique temporal characteristics. The proposed model, which is validated against experimental FLCA LixNbO2 intercalation devices, is used to create memristive circuits that mimic neuronal behavior such as desensitization, paired-pulse facilitation, and spike-timing-dependent plasticity. The model is used to demonstrate building blocks of biomimetic learning via dynamical memristive circuits that implement biomimetic learning rules in a self-training neural network, with dynamical memristive weights that are capable of associative lifelong learning. Successful training of the dynamical memristive neural network to perform image classification of handwritten digits is shown, including lifelong learning by having the dynamical memristive network relearn different characters in succession. An analog computing architecture that learns to associate input-to-input correlations is also introduced, with examples demonstrating image classification and pattern recognition without convolution. The biomimetic functions shown in this paper result from fully ion-driven memristive circuits devoid of integrating capacitors and thus are instructive for exploiting the immense potential of memristive technology for neuromorphic computation in hardware and allowing a common architecture to be applied to a wide range of learning rules, including STDP, magnitude, frequency, and pulse shape among others, to enable an inorganic implementation of the complex heterogeneity of biological neural systems.
