Attentive Tensor Product Learning
This paper proposes a new architecture - Attentive Tensor Product Learning
(ATPL) - to represent grammatical structures in deep learning models. ATPL is a
new architecture to bridge this gap by exploiting Tensor Product
Representations (TPR), a structured neural-symbolic model developed in
cognitive science, aiming to integrate deep learning with explicit language
structures and rules. The key ideas of ATPL are: 1) unsupervised learning of
role-unbinding vectors of words via TPR-based deep neural network; 2) employing
attention modules to compute TPR; and 3) integration of TPR with typical deep
learning architectures including Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Feedforward
Neural Network (FFNN). The novelty of our approach lies in its ability to
extract the grammatical structure of a sentence by using role-unbinding
vectors, which are obtained in an unsupervised manner. This ATPL approach is
applied to 1) image captioning, 2) part of speech (POS) tagging, and 3)
constituency parsing of a sentence. Experimental results demonstrate the
effectiveness of the proposed approach
Perspectives on neural proof nets
In this paper I will present a novel way of combining proof net proof search
with neural networks. It contrasts with the 'standard' approach which has been
applied to proof search in type-logical grammars in various different forms. In
the standard approach, we first transform words to formulas (supertagging) then
match atomic formulas to obtain a proof. I will introduce an alternative way to
split the task into two: first, we generate the graph structure in a way which
guarantees it corresponds to a lambda-term, then we obtain the detailed
structure using vertex labelling. Vertex labelling is a well-studied task in
graph neural networks, and different ways of implementing graph generation
using neural networks will be explored.Comment: This is an extended version of an invited talk for the workshop

PersoNER: Persian named-entity recognition
© 1963-2018 ACL. Named-Entity Recognition (NER) is still a challenging task for languages with low digital resources. The main difficulties arise from the scarcity of annotated corpora and the consequent problematic training of an effective NER pipeline. To abridge this gap, in this paper we target the Persian language that is spoken by a population of over a hundred million people world-wide. We first present and provide ArmanPerosNERCorpus, the first manually-annotated Persian NER corpus. Then, we introduce PersoNER, an NER pipeline for Persian that leverages a word embedding and a sequential max-margin classifier. The experimental results show that the proposed approach is capable of achieving interesting MUC7 and CoNNL scores while outperforming two alternatives based on a CRF and a recurrent neural network
