A Survey on Semantic Processing Techniques
Semantic processing is a fundamental research domain in computational
linguistics. In the era of powerful pre-trained language models and large
language models, the advancement of research in this domain appears to be
decelerating. However, the study of semantics is multi-dimensional in
linguistics. The research depth and breadth of computational semantic
processing can be largely improved with new technologies. In this survey, we
analyzed five semantic processing tasks, e.g., word sense disambiguation,
anaphora resolution, named entity recognition, concept extraction, and
subjectivity detection. We study relevant theoretical research in these fields,
advanced methods, and downstream applications. We connect the surveyed tasks
with downstream applications because this may inspire future scholars to fuse
these low-level semantic processing tasks with high-level natural language
processing tasks. The review of theoretical research may also inspire new tasks
and technologies in the semantic processing domain. Finally, we compare the
different semantic processing techniques and summarize their technical trends,
application trends, and future directions.Comment: Published at Information Fusion, Volume 101, 2024, 101988, ISSN
