Abstract

Synaesthesia refers to the description of perceptions in one sensory modality through concepts from other modalities. It involves not only a linguistic phenomenon, but also a cognitive phenomenon structuring human thought and action, which makes understanding it challenging. As a means of cognition, synaesthesia is rendered by more than sensory modalities, cue and stimulus can also play an important role in expressing and understanding it. In addition, understanding synaesthesia involves many cognitive efforts, such as identifying the semantic relationship between sensory words and modalities. Therefore, we propose a unified framework focusing on annotating all kinds of synaesthetic elements and fully exploring the relationship among them. In particular, we introduce a new annotation scheme, including sensory modalities as well as their cues and stimuli, which facilitate understanding synaesthetic information collectively. We further design a structure generation model to capture the relations among synaesthetic elements and generate them jointly. Through extensive experiments, the importance of the proposed dataset can be verified by the statistics and progressive performances. In addition, our proposed model yields state-of-the-art results, demonstrating its effectiveness.
