Using dependency parsing for few-shot learning in distributional semantics

Stefania Preda, Guy Emerson

In this work, we explore the novel idea of employing dependency parsing information in the context of few-shot learning, the task of learning the meaning of a rare word based on a…

Learning Functional Distributional Semantics with Visual Data

Yinhong Liu, Guy Emerson

Functional Distributional Semantics is a recently proposed framework for learning distributional semantics that provides linguistic interpretability. It models the meaning of a wor…

Incremental Beam Manipulation for Natural Language Generation

James Hargreaves, Andreas Vlachos, Guy Emerson

The performance of natural language generation systems has improved substantially with modern neural networks. At test time they typically employ beam search to avoid locally optim…

Investigating Cross-Linguistic Adjective Ordering Tendencies with a Latent-Variable Model

Jun Yen Leung, Guy Emerson, Ryan Cotterell

Across languages, multiple consecutive adjectives modifying a noun (e.g. "the big red dog") follow certain unmarked ordering rules. While explanatory accounts have been put forward…

Linguists Who Use Probabilistic Models Love Them: Quantification in Functional Distributional Semantics

Guy Emerson

Functional Distributional Semantics provides a computationally tractable framework for learning truth-conditional semantics from a corpus. Previous work in this framework has provi…

Autoencoding Pixies: Amortised Variational Inference with Graph Convolutions for Functional Distributional Semantics

Guy Emerson

Functional Distributional Semantics provides a linguistically interpretable framework for distributional semantics, by representing the meaning of a word as a function (a binary cl…
