Aligning packed dependency trees: a theory of composition for distributional semantics
journal contribution
posted on 2023-06-09, 01:14 authored by David WeirDavid Weir, Jeremy ReffinJeremy Reffin, Julie WeedsJulie Weeds, Thomas KoberWe present a new framework for compositional distributional semantics in which the distributional contexts of lexemes are expressed in terms of anchored packed dependency trees. We show that these structures have the potential to capture the full sentential contexts of a lexeme and provide a uniform basis for the composition of distributional knowledge in a way that captures both mutual disambiguation and generalization.
