We create a small\nannotated dataset and use it to assess the performance of a standard model for\nmeaning shift detection on short-term meaning shift. We find that the model has\nproblems distinguishing meaning shift from referential phenomena, and propose a\nmeasure of contextual variability to remedy this.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1809.03169v3","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1809.03169v3.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":"short-term-meaning-shift-an-exploratory","repo_url":"https://github.com/marcodel13/Short-term-meaning-shift","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1809.03169","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
