Distributional semantics is an active area of research within the
field of natural language processing. In distributional semantics, the
meaning of words is explored by looking at their use (distribution) in
texts. The combined contexts of words, represented as feature vectors
in a high-dimensional vector space, are often indicative of their
meaning.

In this workshop, organized at the University of Groningen, a number
of researchers will present their state-of-the-art results on
distributional semantic models.
