Semantisets
Semantisets are a theoretical construct in formal semantics and computational linguistics that model meaning as collections of representations rather than single predicates. A semanset is a subset of a semantic universe S, where S comprises basic meaning elements such as features, propositions, or context-dependent representations. Each lexical item w is associated with one or more semantic contents M(w) ⊆ S, representing its possible meanings in a given language. A semanset groups together those representations that share a given semantic property or role.
In practice, semantisets support a modular view of meaning. For example, the word bank can be associated
Semantics composition is expressed through set operations on semantisets. Union combines alternative senses; intersection captures senses
Applications of semantisets include lexical disambiguation, semantic parsing, knowledge representation, and cross-lingual alignment in multilingual corpora.
