Language model semantic spaces show varied representation of word relations

Researchers have investigated the geometric representation of semantic relations within the vector spaces of language models. Their study explored whether words related to a target word occupy similar regions and if these regions are distinct for different relations. The findings indicate that relata in asymmetric relations tend to cluster together more clearly than in symmetric ones, and the models partially encode properties like symmetry and transitivity. The research also highlighted that causal language models rely more on lexical information, while masked and diffusion models prioritize contextual information for relation geometry. AI

IMPACT Provides insights into how language models encode and represent complex semantic relationships, potentially guiding future model development.

    Relation Geometry in Semantic Space of Language Models

    arXiv:2607.26762v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: When it comes to generating vector representations of words, current language models are achieving high-quality results. However, what is not known is the extent to which knowledge about semantic relations is represented in the geom…
