Article Contrastive Retrieval Methodology for Turkish Metaphor Detection and Identification(Assoc Computing Machinery, 2025) Inan, EmrahMetaphorical expressions, as a form of figurative language, are individually limited in their use. However, whenboth literal and non-literal meanings are considered, they are frequently used in web content. Hence, producinga balanced dataset to learn superior representations is a challenging task, and metaphor detection suffers froma limited training dataset. To alleviate this problem, we present a retrieval-based contrastive learning approachwhich first identifies candidate metaphors in the input text and then detects metaphorical expressions as aclaim verification task in the inherently unbalanced setting of this study. Furthermore, we adapt contrastivelearning to make it easier to distinguish between the literal and figurative meanings of the same expression.For the experimental setup, we extract non-literal and literal expressions along with their meanings andsample sentences from a Turkish dictionary. In the metaphor detection subtask, performance evaluation shows that sparse and dense search variations using the Turkish-e5-Large model achieve a Recall@10 (R@10) scoreof 0.614. Moreover, the SimCSE-TR-Contr-Sample-Meaning model achieves the highest Recall@10 (R@10)of 0.9739 on the generated test dataset for the metaphor identification subtask. In the real-world scenario,it achieves a competitive R@10 score of 0.8684, and these results clearly demonstrate that our model cangeneralise to this real-world scenarioConference Object Citation - Scopus: 1Applying Weighted Graph Embeddings To Turkish Metaphor Detection(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) İnan, EmrahMetaphor is a common literary mechanism that allows abstract concepts to be conceptualised using more concrete terminology. Existing methods rely on either end-to-end models or hand-crafted pre-processing steps. Generating well-defined training datasets for supervised models is a time-consuming operation for this type of problem. There is also a lack of pre-processing steps for resource-poor natural languages. In this study, we propose an approach for detecting Turkish metaphorical concepts. Initially, we collect non-literal concepts including their meaning and reference sentences by employing a Turkish dictionary. Secondly, we generate a graph by discovering super-sense relations between sample texts including target metaphorical expressions in Turkish WordNet. We also compute weights for relations based on the path closeness and word occurrences. Finally, we classify the texts by leveraging a weighted graph embedding model. The evaluation setup indicates that the proposed approach reaches the best F1 and Gmean scores of 0.83 and 0.68 for the generated test sets when we use feature vector representations of the Node2Vec model as the input of the logistic regression for detecting metaphors in Turkish texts. © 2024 IEEE.
