Threshold-Calibrated Word Sense Disambiguation: Semantic Broadening Without Sense Redistribution in Schizophrenia
A sense-tracking study presented at LChange'26 Workshop (EACL) introducing a threshold-calibrated, prototype-based pipeline for tracking word sense prevalence in historical U.S. news articles.

Threshold-Calibrated Word Sense Disambiguation: Semantic Broadening Without Sense Redistribution in Schizophrenia
A sense-tracking pipeline; in the case of schizophrenia we showed that rising semantic change scores can reflect a word's use in a broader range of contexts, while retaining its core meaning.

Threshold-Calibrated Sense Tracking Pipeline
A threshold-calibrated, prototype-based pipeline for estimating word sense prevalence in diachronic text corpora. Applied to schizophrenia in historical U.S. news, the pipeline combines sense inventories, generated prototype usages, target-aware embeddings, human-calibrated similarity thresholds, and sense prevalence estimation over time. The repository includes a sample of expert labeled U.S. news sentences (containing the term schizophrenia annotated for which Oxford English Dictionary sense they express).
