HSE Economists Use Search Queries to Forecast Birth Rates
Researchers from the HSE Faculty of Economic Sciences have shown that the accuracy of birth rate forecasts for Russia can be improved by almost 50% by incorporating the dynamics of online search queries related to pregnancy and childbirth into forecasting models. In the best-performing models, the forecasting error fell from 4.6% to 3.2%. The findings have been published in Populations and Economics.

HSE Researchers Discover Who Eats Out in Russia-And Why
Around one-third of Russians (31.3%) rarely eat out or buy ready-made meals. The core group of active consumers—those who eat out or purchase prepared food almost every day or several times a week—accounts for only about 9% of the population. These are the findings of a study conducted by the HSE Institute for Social Policy. According to the researchers eating out is no longer a marker of high social status in Russia.

Metaphor Shifts in Constructions: the Russian Metaphor Corpus

P. 127–130.
Badryzlova Y., Lyashevskaya O.

In the ongoing corpus project we annotate Russian constructions that have a metaphoric potential. Indirect linguistic metaphors are defined according to a customized version of the metaphor identification procedure MIPVU as the contrast between the basic and the contextual meaning of the lemmas participating in a construction. Direct Metaphors are defined as linguistic metaphors whose contextual meaning has two referents simultaneously, or, in terms of conceptual metaphor, there is a cross-domain mapping. Personification is a subtype of Indirect Metaphor where slots that require only animate participants are filled with non-animate arguments. The annotation of metaphor-related constructions is added as a new layer to SynTagRus, the Russian syntactical dependencies treebank. The paper focuses on the procedure of metaphor identification and the types of linguistic metaphors annotated.

The paper examines the efficiency of topic models as features for computational identification and conceptual analysis of linguistic metaphor on Russian data. We train topic models using three algorithms (LDA and ARTM – sparse and dense) and evaluate their quality. We compute topic vectors for sentences of a metaphor-annotated Russian corpus and train several classifiers ...

Exploring Semantic Concreteness and Abstractness for Metaphor Identification and Beyond
Badryzlova Y., , in: Компьютерная лингвистика и интеллектуальные технологии: По материалам ежегодной международной конференции «Диалог» (Москва, 17 июня — 20 июня 2020 г.)Вып. 19(26).: М.: Изд-во РГГУ, 2020. P. 33–47.
The paper presents a method for computing indexes of semantic concreteness and abstractness in two languages (Russian and English). These indexes are used in metaphor identification experiments in both languages; the results are either comparable to or surpass pervious work and the baselines. We analyze the obtained indexes of concreteness and abstractness to see how ...

The paper provides linguistic explanations to the results of the supervised machine learning experiments for identification of verbal metaphor in Russian texts. We look at the classification accuracy of models based on different features (distributional semantics and lexical and morphosyntactic co-occurrence, etc.) and explore the behavior of verb constructions and wider context in order to investigate the reasons behind the ...

A constructicon for Russian: Filling in the gaps
Janda L., Lyashevskaya O., Nesset T. et al., , in: Constructicography: Constructicon development across languages.: Philadelphia, Amsterdam: John Benjamins Publishing Company, 2018. Ch. 6 P. 165–181.
The Russian Constructicon project currently prioritizes multi-word constructions that are not represented in dictionaries and that are especially useful for learners of Russian. The immediate goal is to identify constructions and determine the semantic constraints on their slots. The Russian Constructicon is being built in parallel with the Swedish Constructicon and will ultimately model the ...

Distributional semantic features in Russian verbal metaphor identification.

Our experiment is aimed at evaluating the performance of distributional semantic features in metaphor identification in Russian raw text. We apply two types of distributional features representing similarity between the metaphoric/ literal verb and its syntactic or linear context. Our approach is evaluated on a dataset of nine Russian verb context, which is made available to the community. The results ...

Работа представляет проект Школы лингвистики НИУ ВШЭ по описанию языка XIX века. Он касается мониторинга изменений, которые претерпел русский язык — и прежде всего, конструкции русского языка — первой трети XIX века по сравнению с началом века XXI. Эти изменения, часто затрагивающие (как это бывает именно в конструкциях) одновременно лексику, морфологию и синтаксис, могут быть ...

Evaluation of frame-semantic role labeling in a case-marking language

The paper discusses evaluation techniques for semantic role labeling in Russian. It has been shown that the quality of FrameNet-style semantic role labeling largely depends on the quantity of roles and may decrease if the inventory of roles in the training set differs from that in the output resource. Our study is the first step ...
