Parsing with Compositional Vector Grammars

TLDR
A Compositional Vector Grammar (CVG), which combines PCFGs with a syntactically untied recursive neural network that learns syntactico-semantic, compositional vector representations and improves performance on the types of ambiguities that require semantic information such as PP attachments.
Abstract
Natural language parsing has typically been done with small sets of discrete categories such as NP and VP, but this representation does not capture the full syntactic nor semantic richness of linguistic phrases, and attempts to improve on this by lexicalizing phrases or splitting categories only partly address the problem at the cost of huge feature spaces and sparseness. Instead, we introduce a Compositional Vector Grammar (CVG), which combines PCFGs with a syntactically untied recursive neural network that learns syntactico-semantic, compositional vector representations. The CVG improves the PCFG of the Stanford Parser by 3.8% to obtain an F1 score of 90.4%. It is fast to train and implemented approximately as an efficient reranker it is about 20% faster than the current Stanford factored parser. The CVG learns a soft notion of head words and improves performance on the types of ambiguities that require semantic information such as PP attachments.

Adaptive Subgradient Methods for Online Learning and Stochastic Optimization.

TL;DR: Adaptive subgradient methods as discussed by the authors dynamically incorporate knowledge of the geometry of the data observed in earlier iterations to perform more informative gradient-based learning, which allows us to find needles in haystacks in the form of very predictive but rarely seen features.

Adaptive Subgradient Methods for Online Learning and Stochastic Optimization

TL;DR: This work describes and analyze an apparatus for adaptively modifying the proximal function, which significantly simplifies setting a learning rate and results in regret guarantees that are provably as good as the best proximal functions that can be chosen in hindsight.

A neural probabilistic language model

TL;DR: The authors propose to learn a distributed representation for words which allows each training sentence to inform the model about an exponential number of semantically neighboring sentences, which can be expressed in terms of these representations.

A unified architecture for natural language processing: deep neural networks with multitask learning

TL;DR: This work describes a single convolutional neural network architecture that, given a sentence, outputs a host of language processing predictions: part-of-speech tags, chunks, named entity tags, semantic roles, semantically similar words and the likelihood that the sentence makes sense using a language model.

Class-based n -gram models of natural language

TL;DR: This work addresses the problem of predicting a word from previous words in a sample of text and discusses n-gram models based on classes of words, finding that these models are able to extract classes that have the flavor of either syntactically based groupings or semanticallybased groupings, depending on the nature of the underlying statistics.
