Algebraic Approaches to Compositional Distributional Semantics
نویسندگان
چکیده
The question of how to compose meaning in distributional representations of meaning has recently been recognised as a central issue in computational linguistics. In this paper we describe three general and powerful tools that can be used to describe composition in distributional semantics: quotient algebras, learning of finite dimensional algebras, and the construction of algebras from semigroups.

The Categorial Framework for Compositional Distributional Semantics
This technical report is concerned with the integration of formal semantics [52, 18] and distributional semantics [62, 70, 11]. Several current attempts at this integration [42, 23, 29] effectively take the logic of formal semantics as a starting point, and then attempt to fill the acknowledged gaps in that framework by using distributional semantics to enrich the logical representations with l...
متن کاملA Frobenius Model of Information Structure in Categorical Compositional Distributional Semantics
The categorical compositional distributional model of Coecke et al. (2010) provides a linguistically motivated procedure for computing the meaning of a sentence as a function of the distributional meaning of the words therein. The theoretical framework allows for reasoning about compositional aspects of language and offers structural ways of studying the underlying relationships. While the mode...
متن کاملCompositional-ly Derived Representations of Morphologically Complex Words in Distributional Semantics
Speakers of a language can construct an unlimited number of new words through morphological derivation. This is a major cause of data sparseness for corpus-based approaches to lexical semantics, such as distributional semantic models of word meaning. We adapt compositional methods originally developed for phrases to the task of deriving the distributional meaning of morphologically complex word...
متن کاملDetecting Learner Errors in the Choice of Content Words Using Compositional Distributional Semantics
We describe a novel approach to error detection in adjective–noun combinations. We present and release a new dataset of annotated errors where the examples are extracted from learner texts and annotated with error types. We show how compositional distributional semantic approaches can be applied to discriminate between correct and incorrect word combinations from learner data. Finally, we show ...
متن کاملTowards Syntax-aware Compositional Distributional Semantic Models
Compositional Distributional Semantics Models (CDSMs) are traditionally seen as an entire different world with respect to Tree Kernels (TKs). In this paper, we show that under a suitable regime these two approaches can be regarded as the same and, thus, structural information and distributional semantics can successfully cooperate in CSDMs for NLP tasks. Leveraging on distributed trees, we pres...
