This paper develops a stochastic lexical calculus framework for semantic updates in language models, defining conditions for when language-derived probabilities support meaningful sequential state representations. Empirical experiments validate the framework's stability and coverage under calibrated conditions.
This paper introduces Semantic Field Theory (SFT), a computational model for lexical semantics that models meaning through semantic fields, contextual deformation, interaction terms, and energy minimization. It provides formal elements including Gaussian product closure, Möbius inversion for higher-order interactions, and stability conditions.
This paper proposes Scene Abstraction, a framework for constructing structured representations of the interpretive scenes that words evoke in context, using few-shot prompting of large language models. The authors introduce COCA-Scenes, a dataset of 520 usage instances, and provide empirical evidence that scenes are reliably identifiable and align better with human interpretation than alternatives.
