SzegedAI at SemEval-2023 Task 1: Applying Quasi-Symbolic Representations in Visual Word Sense Disambiguation

Címlapos tartalom

In this paper, we introduce our submission in the task of visual word sense disambiguation (vWSD). Our proposed solution operates by deriving quasi-symbolic semantic categories from the hidden representations of multi-modal text-image encoders. Our results are mixed, as we manage to achieve a substantial boost in performance when evaluating on a validation set, however, we experienced detrimental effects during evaluation on the actual test set. Our positive results on the validation set confirms the validity of the quasi-symbolic features, whereas our results on the test set revealed that the proposed technique was not able to cope with the sufficiently different distribution of the test data.
