Linear Compositional Distributional Semantics and Structural Kernels
Lorenzo Ferrone, Fabio Massimo Zanzotto · 2013
In this paper, we want to start the analy-sis of the models for compositional dis-tributional semantics (CDS) with respect to the distributional similarity. We believe that this simple analysis of the properties of the similarity can help to better inves-tigate new CDS models. We show that, looking at CDS models from this point of view, these models are strictly related with convolution kernels (Haussler, 1999), e.g.: tree kernels (Collins and Duffy, 2002). We will then examine how the distributed tree kernels (Zanzotto and Dell’Arciprete, 2012) are an interesting result to draw a stronger link between CDS models and convolution kernels. 1
