A Type-Driven Tensor-Based Semantics for CCG
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper shows how the tensor-based semantic framework of Coecke et al. can be seamlessly integrated with Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG). The integration follows from the observation that tensors are linear maps, and hence can be manipulated using the combinators of CCG, including type-raising and composition. Given the existence of robust, wide-coverage CCG parsers, this opens up the possibility of a practical, type-driven compositional semantics based on distributional representations.

The Surface-compositional Semantics of English Intonation
This paper proposes a syntax and a semantics for intonation in English and some related languages. The semantics is “surface-compositional”, in the sense that syntactic derivation constructs information-structural logical form monotonically, without rules of structural revision, and without autonomous rules of “focus projection.” This is made possible by the generalized notion of syntactic cons...
متن کاملLearning Type-Driven Tensor-Based Meaning Representations
This paper investigates the learning of 3rd-order tensors representing the semantics of transitive verbs. The meaning representations are part of a type-driven tensor-based semantic framework, from the newly emerging field of compositional distributional semantics. Standard techniques from the neural networks literature are used to learn the tensors, which are tested on a selectional preference...
متن کاملReducing Dimensions of Tensors in Type-Driven Distributional Semantics
Compositional distributional semantics is a subfield of Computational Linguistics which investigates methods for representing the meanings of phrases and sentences. In this paper, we explore implementations of a framework based on Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG), in which words with certain grammatical types have meanings represented by multilinear maps (i.e. multi-dimensional arrays, or t...
متن کاملA Data-Driven, Factorization Parser for CCG Dependency Structures
This paper is concerned with building CCG-grounded, semantics-oriented deep dependency structures with a data-driven, factorization model. Three types of factorization together with different higherorder features are designed to capture different syntacto-semantic properties of functor-argument dependencies. Integrating heterogeneous factorizations results in intractability in decoding. We prop...
متن کاملType-inheritance Combinatory Categorial Grammar
In this paper I outline Type-inheritance Combinatory Categorial Grammar (TCCG), an implemented feature structure based CCG fragment of English. TCCG combines the fully lexical nature of CCG with the type-inheritance hierarchies and complex feature structures of Headdriven Phrase Structure Grammars (HPSG). The result is a CCG/HPSG hybrid that combines linguistic generalizations previously only s...
