俚语语义解读
Semantically Informed Slang Interpretation
摘要：
俚语是非正式语言的一种主要形式，它使单词的灵活和扩展使用对于自然语言处理系统来说是出了名的难以解释。现有的俚语解释方法往往依赖于上下文，但忽略了俚语中常见的语义扩展。我们提出了一个语义通知俚语解释（SSI）框架，共同考虑上下文和语义适当的候选解释查询俚语。我们对两个大型在线俚语词典进行了严格的评估，结果表明，我们的方法不仅在英语俚语解释方面达到了最先进的准确率，而且在训练数据稀疏的zero-shot和Few-Shot场景中也做到了这一点。此外，我们展示了如何相同的框架可以应用于提高机器翻译俚语从英语到其他语言。我们的工作为非正式语言的自动口译和翻译创造了机会。
英文摘要：
Slang is a predominant form of informal language making flexible and extended use of words that is notoriously hard for natural language processing systems to interpret. Existing approaches to slang interpretation tend to rely on context but ignore semantic extensions common in slang word usage. We propose a semantically informed slang interpretation (SSI) framework that considers jointly the contextual and semantic appropriateness of a candidate interpretation for a query slang. We perform rigorous evaluation on two large-scale online slang dictionaries and show that our approach not only achieves state-of-the-art accuracy for slang interpretation in English, but also does so in zero-shot and few-shot scenarios where training data is sparse. Furthermore, we show how the same framework can be applied to enhancing machine translation of slang from English to other languages. Our work creates opportunities for the automated interpretation and translation of informal language.
