Metaphor Detection with Effective Context Denoising

Metaphor is a pervasive linguistic device, which Some recent efforts (Le et al., 2020; Song et al., attracts attention from both the fields of psycholinguistics 2021a) attempt to improve context modelling by and computational linguistics due to the explicitly leveraging the syntactic structure (e.g., key role it plays in the cognitive and communicative dependency parse tree) of a sentence in order to capture functions of language (Wilks, 1978; Lakoff important context words, where the parse trees and Johnson, 1980; Lakoff, 1993). Linguistically, are typically encoded with graph convolutional neural metaphor is defined as a figurative expression that networks. MelBERT (Choi et al., 2021) employs uses one or several words to represent another concept a simple chunking method which separates given the context, rather than taking the literal sub-sentences by commas.
