论文摘要
语是非正式语言的一种主要形式，可以灵活而扩展单词，这对于自然语言处理系统来说很难解释。现有的语解释方法倾向于依赖上下文，但忽略语言用法中常见的语义扩展。我们提出了一个知情的语言解释（SSI）框架，该框架共同考虑了候选人的候选语言解释的上下文和语义适当性。我们对两个大规模的在线语词典进行了严格的评估，并表明我们的方法不仅可以实现英语lang语解释的最新准确性，而且在零照片和几个训练数据稀疏的情况下也可以做到这一点。此外，我们还展示了如何将同一框架应用于从英语到其他语言的sang机器翻译。我们的工作为自动解释和非正式语言的翻译创造了机会。
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.
