A hybrid representation based simile component extraction
Simile, a special type of metaphor, can help people to express their ideas more clearly. Simile component extraction is to extract tenors and vehicles from sentences. This task has a realistic significance since it is useful for building cognitive knowledge base. With the development of deep neural networks, researchers begin to apply neural models to component extraction. Simile components should be in cross-domain. According to our observations, words in cross-domain always have different concepts. Thus, concept is important when identifying whether two words are simile components or not. However, existing models do not integrate concept into their models. It is difficult for these models to identify the concept of a word. What’s more, corpus about simile component extraction is limited. There are a number of rare words or unseen words, and the representations of these words are always not proper enough. Exiting models can hardly extract simile components accurately when there are low-frequency words in sentences. To solve these problems, we propose a hybrid representation-based component extraction (HRCE) model. Each word in HRCE is represented in three different levels: word level, concept level and character level. Concept representations (representations in concept level) can help HRCE to identify the words in cross-domain more accurately. Moreover, with the help of character representations (representations in character levels), HRCE can represent the meaning of a word more properly since words are consisted of characters and these characters can partly represent the meaning of words. We conduct experiments to compare the performance between HRCE and existing models. The experiment results show that HRCE significantly outperforms current models
Multiple perspectives on the concept of conditional probability
Conditional probability is a key to the subjectivist theory of probability; however, it plays a subsidiary role in the usual conception of probability where its counterpart, namely independence is of basic importance. The paper investigates these concepts from various perspectives in order to shed light on their multi-faceted character. We will include the mathematical, philosophical, and educational perspectives. Furthermore, we will inspect conditional probability from the corners of competing ideas and solving strategies. For the comprehension of conditional probability, a wider approach is urgently needed to overcome the well-known problems in learning the concepts, which seem nearly unaffected by teaching
Improving Distributed Representations of Tweets - Present and Future
Unsupervised representation learning for tweets is an important research
field which helps in solving several business applications such as sentiment
analysis, hashtag prediction, paraphrase detection and microblog ranking. A
good tweet representation learning model must handle the idiosyncratic nature
of tweets which poses several challenges such as short length, informal words,
unusual grammar and misspellings. However, there is a lack of prior work which
surveys the representation learning models with a focus on tweets. In this
work, we organize the models based on its objective function which aids the
understanding of the literature. We also provide interesting future directions,
which we believe are fruitful in advancing this field by building high-quality
tweet representation learning models.Comment: To be presented in Student Research Workshop (SRW) at ACL 201

Gated Recurrent Neural Tensor Network
Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), which are a powerful scheme for modeling
temporal and sequential data need to capture long-term dependencies on datasets
and represent them in hidden layers with a powerful model to capture more
information from inputs. For modeling long-term dependencies in a dataset, the
gating mechanism concept can help RNNs remember and forget previous
information. Representing the hidden layers of an RNN with more expressive
operations (i.e., tensor products) helps it learn a more complex relationship
between the current input and the previous hidden layer information. These
ideas can generally improve RNN performances. In this paper, we proposed a
novel RNN architecture that combine the concepts of gating mechanism and the
tensor product into a single model. By combining these two concepts into a
single RNN, our proposed models learn long-term dependencies by modeling with
gating units and obtain more expressive and direct interaction between input
and hidden layers using a tensor product on 3-dimensional array (tensor) weight
parameters. We use Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) RNN and Gated Recurrent Unit
(GRU) RNN and combine them with a tensor product inside their formulations. Our
proposed RNNs, which are called a Long-Short Term Memory Recurrent Neural
Tensor Network (LSTMRNTN) and Gated Recurrent Unit Recurrent Neural Tensor
Network (GRURNTN), are made by combining the LSTM and GRU RNN models with the
tensor product. We conducted experiments with our proposed models on word-level
and character-level language modeling tasks and revealed that our proposed
models significantly improved their performance compared to our baseline
models.Comment: Accepted at IJCNN 2016 URL :

Tracking Eudaimonia
A basic challenge to naturalistic moral realism is that, even if moral properties existed, there would be no way to naturalistically represent or track them. Here, the basic structure for a tracking account of moral epistemology is given in empirically respectable terms, based on a eudaimonist conception of morality. The goal is to show how this form of moral realism can be seen as consistent with the details of evolutionary biology as well as being amenable to the most current understanding of representationalist or correspondence theories of truth
