DecompSR: A dataset for decomposed analyses of compositional multihop spatial reasoning

Lachlan McPheat, Navdeep Kaur, Robert Blackwell +3

We introduce DecompSR, decomposed spatial reasoning, a large benchmark dataset (over 5m datapoints) and generation framework designed to analyse compositional spatial reasoning abi…

An Empirical Study of Conformal Prediction in LLM with ASP Scaffolds for Robust Reasoning

Navdeep Kaur, Lachlan McPheat, Alessandra Russo +2

In this paper, we examine the use of Conformal Language Modelling (CLM) alongside Answer Set Programming (ASP) to enhance the performance of standard open-weight LLMs on complex mu…

DisCoCat for Donkey Sentences

Lachlan McPheat, Daphne Wang

We demonstrate how to parse Geach's Donkey sentences in a compositional distributional model of meaning. We build on previous work on the DisCoCat (Distributional Compositional Cat…

A Quantum Natural Language Processing Approach to Pronoun Resolution

Hadi Wazni, Kin Ian Lo, Lachlan McPheat +1

We use the Lambek Calculus with soft sub-exponential modalities to model and reason about discourse relations such as anaphora and ellipsis. A semantics for this logic is obtained…

Vector Space Semantics for Lambek Calculus with Soft Subexponentials

Lachlan McPheat, Hadi Wazni, Mehrnoosh Sadrzadeh

We develop a vector space semantics for Lambek Calculus with Soft Subexponentials, apply the calculus to construct compositional vector interpretations for parasitic gap noun phras…

Anaphora and Ellipsis in Lambek Calculus with a Relevant Modality: Syntax and Semantics

Lachlan McPheat, Gijs Wijnholds, Mehrnoosh Sadrzadeh +2

Lambek calculus with a relevant modality of arXiv:1601.06303 syntactically resolves parasitic gaps in natural language. It resembles the Lambek calculus with anapho…

Categorical Vector Space Semantics for Lambek Calculus with a Relevant Modality (Extended Abstract)

Lachlan McPheat, Mehrnoosh Sadrzadeh, Hadi Wazni +1

We develop a categorical compositional distributional semantics for Lambek Calculus with a Relevant Modality, which has a limited version of the contraction and permutation rules.…
