DSMs have been very effectively applied to a variety of semantic tasks (Clark, 2015;Mikolov et al., 2013b;Turney and Pantel, 2010).
compared to human semantic knowledge, these purely textual models, just like traditional symbolic AI systems (Harnad, 1990;Searle, 1984), are severely impoverished, suffering of lack of grounding in extra-linguistic modalities (Glenberg and Robertson, 2000).
