163 nips-2002-Prediction and Semantic Association

Author: Thomas L. Griffiths, Mark Steyvers

Abstract: We explore the consequences of viewing semantic association as the result of attempting to predict the concepts likely to arise in a particular context. We argue that the success of existing accounts of semantic representation comes as a result of indirectly addressing this problem, and show that a closer correspondence to human data can be obtained by taking a probabilistic approach that explicitly models the generative structure of language. 1
