Distributional semantics and linguistic theory

G Boleda - Annual Review of Linguistics, 2020 - annualreviews.org
Distributional semantics provides multidimensional, graded, empirically induced word
representations that successfully capture many aspects of meaning in natural languages, as …

Semantic structure in deep learning

E Pavlick - Annual Review of Linguistics, 2022 - annualreviews.org
Deep learning has recently come to dominate computational linguistics, leading to claims of
human-level performance in a range of language processing tasks. Like much previous …

Frege in space: A program for compositional distributional semantics

M Baroni, R Bernardi, R Zamparelli - Linguistic Issues in language …, 2014 - iris.unitn.it
The lexicon of any natural language encodes a huge number of distinct word meanings. Just
to understand this article, you will need to know what thousands of words mean. The space …

[PDF][PDF] A comparison of vector-based representations for semantic composition

W Blacoe, M Lapata - Proceedings of the 2012 joint conference on …, 2012 - aclanthology.org
In this paper we address the problem of modeling compositional meaning for phrases and
sentences using distributional methods. We experiment with several possible combinations …

Domain and function: A dual-space model of semantic relations and compositions

PD Turney - Journal of artificial intelligence research, 2012 - jair.org
Given appropriate representations of the semantic relations between carpenter and wood
and between mason and stone (for example, vectors in a vector space model), a suitable …

The Frobenius anatomy of word meanings I: subject and object relative pronouns

M Sadrzadeh, S Clark, B Coecke - Journal of Logic and …, 2013 - academic.oup.com
This article develops a compositional vector-based semantics of subject and object relative
pronouns within a categorical framework. Frobenius algebras are used to formalize the …

Evaluating neural word representations in tensor-based compositional settings

D Milajevs, D Kartsaklis, M Sadrzadeh… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2014 - arxiv.org
We provide a comparative study between neural word representations and traditional vector
spaces based on co-occurrence counts, in a number of compositional tasks. We use three …

Multi-step regression learning for compositional distributional semantics

E Grefenstette, G Dinu, YZ Zhang, M Sadrzadeh… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2013 - arxiv.org
We present a model for compositional distributional semantics related to the framework of
Coecke et al.(2010), and emulating formal semantics by representing functions as tensors …

D Kartsaklis, M Sadrzadeh - 2013 - ora.ox.ac.uk
Recent work has shown that compositionaldistributional models using element-wise
operations on contextual word vectors benefit from the introduction of a prior disambiguation …
