Inequality measurement involves explicit or implicit value judgements. The subjective approach to inequality measurement is a relatively new and fast-developing area which focueses direct attention on these judgements. It is "subjective" in the sense that it takes account of people's views on distributional comparisons. This paper surveys some of the principal contributions of recent years.

Compositional Distributional Semantics Models (CDSMs) are traditionally seen as an entire different world with respect to Tree Kernels (TKs). In this paper, we show that under a suitable regime these two approaches can be regarded as the same and, thus, structural information and distributional semantics can successfully cooperate in CSDMs for NLP tasks. Leveraging on distributed trees, we pres...

Formal and distributional semantic models offer complementary benefits in modeling meaning. The categorical compositional distributional model of meaning of Coecke et al. (2010) (abbreviated to DisCoCat in the title) combines aspects of both to provide a general framework in which meanings of words, obtained distributionally, are composed using methods from the logical setting to form sentence ...

We present a flexible method that rearranges the ranked output of compound splitters (i.e., decomposers of one-word compounds such as the German Kinderlied ‘children’s song’) using a distributional semantics model. In an experiment, we show that our re-ranker improves the quality of various compound splitters.

Techniques that exploit knowledge of distributional similarity between words have been proposed in many areas of Natural Language Processing. For example, in language modeling, the sparse data problem can be alleviated by estimating the probabilities of unseen co-occurrences of events from the probabilities of seen co-occurrences of similar events. In other applications, distributional similari...

In the present paper, measure differential equations involving the distributional Henstock-Kurzweil integral are investigated. Theorems on the existence and structure of the set of solutions are established by using Schauder$^prime s$ fixed point theorem and Vidossich theorem. Two examples of the main results paper are presented. The new results are generalizations of some previous results in t...

introduction: human embryonic stem cells (hescs) are pluripotent cells that can proliferate and differentiate to many cell types. their electrophysiological properties have not yet been chracterzed. in this study, the passive properties (such as resting membrane potential, input resistance and capacitance) and the contribution of delayed rectifier k+ channel currents to the membrane conductance...
