We also build the first diachronic test set for German as a\nstandard for metaphoric change annotation. Our model shows high performance, is\nunsupervised, language-independent and generalizable to other processes of\nsemantic change.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1706.04971v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1706.04971v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"german-in-flux-detecting-metaphoric-change","repo_url":"https://github.com/Garrafao/MetaphoricChange","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1706.04971","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
