    From Distributional Semantics to Conceptual Spaces: A Novel Computational

    Method for Concept Creation


    2.2 Conceptual Spaces

    A crucial characteristic of such a space is that the regions of the space, which might be construed as
    conceptual entities, can be seen as interacting with one another by virtue of the lower level
    relationships between their defining dimensions.

    Ga r̈ denfors sees concepts as corresponding to regions in such spaces, with individual entities which
    belong to those concepts (or events etc.) as points within those regions.

    This provides a view naturally suited to modelling not only membership judgements in this way, but
    similarity judgements (via distances between points), the existence of prototypical members of
    concepts (as more central points within regions) and degree judgements (via distances from central
    points).

    3. Distributional Semantic Language Models

    Where Ga ̈rdenfors (2000) has described conceptual spaces in terms of latent dimensions that correlate
    to stimuli in the world, research in computational linguistics, models represent word meanings as
    vectors in a vector space
