Severin Laicher et al., « CL-IMS @ DIACR-Ita: Volente o Nolente: BERT does not Outperform SGNS on Semantic Change Detection », Accademia University Press, ID : 10.4000/books.aaccademia.7650
We present the results of our participation in the DIACR-Ita shared task on lexical semantic change detection for Italian. We exploit Average Pairwise Distance of token-based BERT embeddings between time points and rank 5 (of 8) in the official ranking with an accuracy of .72. While we tune parameters on the English data set of SemEval-2020 Task 1 and reach high performance, this does not translate to the Italian DIACR-Ita data set. Our results show that we do not manage to find robust ways to exploit BERT embeddings in lexical semantic change detection.
