Title: ConceptNet at SemEval-2017 Task 2: Extending Word Embeddings with Multilingual Relational Knowledge,
Abstract: This paper describes Luminoso's participation in SemEval 2017 Task 2,
"Multilingual and Cross-lingual Semantic Word Similarity", with a system based
on ConceptNet. ConceptNet is an open, multilingual knowledge graph that focuses
on general knowledge that relates the meanings of words and phrases. Our
submission to SemEval was an update of previous work that builds high-quality,
multilingual word embeddings from a combination of ConceptNet and
distributional semantics. Our system took first place in both subtasks. It
ranked first in 4 out of 5 of the separate languages, and also ranked first in
all 10 of the cross-lingual language pairs.
