Context Vectors: A Step Toward a "Grand Unified Representation"

TLDR
Accommodating all these capabilities into a “Grand Unified Representation” is, it is maintained, a prerequisite for solving the most difficult problems in Artificial Intelligence, including natural language understanding.
Abstract
Context Vectors are fixed-length vector representations useful for document retrieval and word sense disambiguation. Context vectors were motivated by four goals: 1 Capture “similarity of use” among words (“car” is similar to “auto”, but not similar to “hippopotamus”). 2 Quickly find constituent objects (eg., documents that contain specified words). 3 Generate context vectors automatically from an unlabeled corpus. 4 Use context vectors as input to standard learning algorithms. Context Vectors lack, however, a natural way to represent syntax, discourse, or logic. Accommodating all these capabilities into a “Grand Unified Representation” is, we maintain, a prerequisite for solving the most difficult problems in Artificial Intelligence, including natural language understanding.

The Word-Space Model : Using distributional analysis to represent syntagmatic and paradigmatic relations between words in high-dimensional vector spaces

TL;DR: The word-space model is a computational model of word meaning that utilizes the distributional patterns of words collected over large text data to represent semantic similarity between words in terabytes of data.

Reflective Random Indexing and Indirect Inference: A Scalable Method for Discovery of

TL;DR: reflective Random Indexing (RRI), an iterative variant of the method that is better able to perform indirect inference, is shown to lead to more clearly related indirect connections and to outperform existing RI implementations in the prediction of future direct co-occurrence in the MEDLINE corpus.

Reflective Random Indexing and indirect inference: A scalable method for discovery of implicit connections

TL;DR: The authors evaluate the ability of Random Indexing (RI), a scalable distributional model of word associations, to draw meaningful implicit relationships between terms in general and biomedical language, and demonstrate that the original implementation of RI is ineffective at inferring meaningful indirect connections.
