The Heisenberg Group was an independent research group, headed by PD Dr. Sabine Schulte im Walde. It was funded by the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft), through a Heisenberg Fellowship plus Research Grant, and further supported by the Integrated Research Training Group of the SFB 732. The group started in November 2011 and ended in February 2017.
The project explored the potential and the limits of distributional approaches to lexical semantics. While it is clear that distributional knowledge does not cover all the cognitive knowledge humans possess with respect to word meaning, distributional models are very attractive, as the underlying parameters are accessible from even low-level annotated corpus data. We were thus interested in maximising the benefit of distributional information for lexical semantics.

The overall goal of the SemRel group was to explore the potential and the limits of distributional approaches to lexical semantics. In phase 1 of the project (11/2011-01/2015), we distinguished three types of semantic relatedness, to shed light on distributional modelling from different perspectives. The work was performed within an interdisciplinary framework between theoretical, cognitive and computational linguistics. The following figure illustrates the interaction of our topics. Each type of relatedness concerning paradigmatic relations, preposition senses and compound compositionality received input and feedback from human judgements, and was applied to statistical machine translation.

The work was performed within an interdisciplinary framework between theoretical, cognitive and computational linguistics. The following figure illustrates the interaction of our topics. Each type of relatedness concerning paradigmatic relations, preposition senses and compound compositionality received input and feedback from human judgements, and was applied to statistical machine translation.
While SemRel phase 1 distinguished three types of semantic relatedness, phase 2 (02/2015-01/2017) aimed to bring together the tasks, approaches and results from these test cases, to study semantic relatedness from a meta-level perspective: We (i) investigated distributional approaches across types of semantic relatedness, across word classes, and across languages; (ii) explored the linguistic performance of soft clustering approaches, parameters, and evaluations to model ambiguity; and (iii) abstracted over semantic subcategorisation information and semantic evaluation for SMT as an extrinsic application. Overall, the work continued within an interdisciplinary framework between theoretical, cognitive and computational linguistics, which allowed us to explore distributional approaches through complementary evidence.
Interdisciplinarity: Theoretical linguistics provides the formal definitions of the semantic relatedness phenomena we are interested in, and cognitive linguistics tells us how humans perceive and express semantic relatedness. Both from the linguistic and the cognitive perspective, we expect a guidance towards selecting and implementing theoretically and cognitively adequate distributional attributes to model word meaning, and gold standards as seeds for computational algorithms and for intrinsic evaluations of the distributional models. As regards the cognitive perspective, we do not only expect cognitive evidence for the potential of distributional knowledge, but also clear evidence for its limits, as human judgements naturally comprise both distributional and world knowledge. Altogether, linguistic and cognitive feedback should help us to define simple, straightforward computational methods to assess information about distributional meaning. Furthermore, the computational perspective explores the applicability of our distributional semantic knowledge to statistical machine translation as an extrinsic evaluation.
Challenges: Within our interdisciplinary approach, we address two major challenges. Firstly, we are interested in a theoretically and cognitively adequate selection of features to model word meaning and word relatedness. In this respect, our project differs from approaches that are not interested in the actual meaning of their features but only in optimising a complex computational machinery that makes use of them. In contrast, our goal is to explore the meaning and the potential of comparatively simple distributional models. Secondly, our work aims to model word meaning with respect to word senses, thus addressing ambiguity. Even though ambiguity is a frequent target of computational models in general, it has largely been ignored in distributionality.
