Study proposes evaluation of diachronic semantic change in Sinhala
A new arXiv paper examines how word meanings in Sinhala have shifted over long historical periods, focusing on a language with limited textual resources. The authors tackle obstacles such as sparse historical corpora and the drawbacks of static embedding alignment techniques when measuring semantic drift. The work contributes an evaluation approach for diachronic semantic change in low-resource NLP settings.
