BOS at LSCDiscovery: Lexical Substitution for Interpretable Lexical Semantic Change Detection. (arXiv:2206.11865v1 [cs.CL])

We propose a solution for the LSCDiscovery shared task on Lexical Semantic
Change Detection in Spanish. Our approach is based on generating lexical
substitutes that describe old and new senses of a given word. This approach
achieves the second best result in sense loss and sense gain detection
subtasks. By observing those substitutes that are specific for only one time
period, one can understand which senses were obtained or lost. This allows
providing more detailed information about semantic change to …
