Category-Theoretic Quantitative Compositional Distributional Models of Natural Language Semantics
Edward Grefenstette
This thesis is about the problem of compositionality in distributional semantics. Distributional semantics presupposes that the meanings of words are a function of their occurrence…
"Not not bad" is not "bad": A distributional account of negation
Karl Moritz Hermann, Edward Grefenstette, Phil Blunsom
With the increasing empirical success of distributional models of compositional semantics, it is timely to consider the types of textual logic that such models are capable of captu…
A quantum teleportation inspired algorithm produces sentence meaning from word meaning and grammatical structure
Stephen Clark, Bob Coecke, Edward Grefenstette +2
We discuss an algorithm which produces the meaning of a sentence given meanings of its words, and its resemblance to quantum teleportation. In fact, this protocol was the main sour…
Towards a Formal Distributional Semantics: Simulating Logical Calculi with Tensors
Edward Grefenstette
The development of compositional distributional models of semantics reconciling the empirical aspects of distributional semantics with the compositional aspects of formal semantics…
Lambek vs. Lambek: Functorial Vector Space Semantics and String Diagrams for Lambek Calculus
Bob Coecke, Edward Grefenstette, Mehrnoosh Sadrzadeh
The Distributional Compositional Categorical (DisCoCat) model is a mathematical framework that provides compositional semantics for meanings of natural language sentences. It consi…
Multi-Step Regression Learning for Compositional Distributional Semantics
Edward Grefenstette, Georgiana Dinu, Yao-Zhong Zhang +2
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…
