Our latest preprint is now available at arxiv.org/pdf/2404.18570. We propose a replacement schema to simulate different semantic changes and use it to analyze semantic change through the lens of 𝐋𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐬 such as BERT, mBERT, XLM-R, and LLaMa 2. #NLP

Is ChatGPT the ultimate solution for modeling Semantic Change? Check this: arxiv.org/pdf/2401.14040.pdf We show that: when used as an off-the-shelf model, with a reasonable prompt from a human perspective, the current (Chat)GPT doesn't outperform pre-trained BERT #ChatGPT #BERT #LSC
