Abstract

This paper presents a series of new results on corpus derived semantic representations based on vectors of simple word co-occurrence statistics, with particular reference to word categorization performance as a function of window type and size, semantic vector dimension, and corpus size. A number of outstanding problems and difficulties with this approach are identified and discussed.
