UTexas: Natural Language Semantics using Distributional Semantics and Probabilistic Logic
نویسندگان
چکیده
We represent natural language semantics by combining logical and distributional information in probabilistic logic. We use Markov Logic Networks (MLN) for the RTE task, and Probabilistic Soft Logic (PSL) for the STS task. The system is evaluated on the SICK dataset. Our best system achieves 73% accuracy on the RTE task, and a Pearson’s correlation of 0.71 on the STS task.

Integrating Logical Representations with Probabilistic Information using Markov Logic
First-order logic provides a powerful and flexible mechanism for representing natural language semantics. However, it is an open question of how best to integrate it with uncertain, probabilistic knowledge, for example regarding word meaning. This paper describes the first steps of an approach to recasting first-order semantics into the probabilistic models that are part of Statistical Relation...
متن کاملNatural Language Semantics using Probabilistic Logic
With better natural language semantic representations, computers can do more applications more efficiently as a result of better understanding of natural text. However, no single semantic representation at this time fulfills all requirements needed for a satisfactory representation. Logic-based representations like first-order logic capture many of the linguistic phenomena using logical constru...
متن کاملRepresenting Meaning with a Combination of Logical and Distributional Models
NLP tasks differ in the semantic information they require, and at this time no single semantic representation fulfills all requirements. Logic-based representations characterize sentence structure, but do not capture the graded aspect of meaning. Distributional models give graded similarity ratings for words and phrases, but do not capture sentence structure in the same detail as logic-based ap...
متن کاملSemantic Parsing using Distributional Semantics and Probabilistic Logic
We propose a new approach to semantic parsing that is not constrained by a fixed formal ontology and purely logical inference. Instead, we use distributional semantics to generate only the relevant part of an on-the-fly ontology. Sentences and the on-the-fly ontology are represented in probabilistic logic. For inference, we use probabilistic logic frameworks like Markov Logic Networks (MLN) and...
متن کاملTowards a semantics for distributional representations
Distributional representations have recently been proposed as a general-purpose representation of natural language meaning, to replace logical form. There is, however, one important difference between logical and distributional representations: Logical languages have a clear semantics, while distributional representations do not. In this paper, we propose a semantics for distributional represen...
