HIT at SemEval-2022 Task 2: Pre-trained Language Model for Idioms Detection

Zheng Chu, Ziqing Yang, Yiming Cui, Zhigang Chen, Ming Liu

The same multi-word expressions may have different meanings in different sentences. They can be mainly divided into two categories, which are literal meaning and idiomatic meaning. Non-contextual-based methods perform poorly on this problem, and we need contextual embedding to understand the idiomatic meaning of multi-word expressions correctly. We use a pre-trained language model, which can provide a context-aware sentence embedding, to detect whether multi-word expression in the sentence is idiomatic usage.
