When a red herring is not a red herring: using compositional methods to detect non-compositional phrases
conference contribution
posted on 2023-06-09, 05:14 authored by Julie WeedsJulie Weeds, Thomas Kober, Jeremy ReffinJeremy Reffin, David WeirDavid WeirNon-compositional phrases such as `red herring' and weakly compositional phrases such as `spelling bee' are an integral part of natural language (Sag, 2002). They are also the phrases that are difficult, or even impossible, for good compositional distributional models of semantics. Compositionality detection therefore provides a good testbed for compositional methods. We compare an integrated compositional distributional approach, using sparse high dimensional representations, with the ad-hoc compositional approach of applying simple composition operations to state-of-the-art neural embeddings.
