  • Deep Recursive Neural Networks for Compositionality in Language
    Deep Recursive Neural Networks for Compositionality in Language Ozan Irsoy˙ Claire Cardie Department of Computer Science Department of Computer Science Cornell University Cornell University Ithaca, NY 14853 Ithaca, NY 14853 [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Recursive neural networks comprise a class of architecture that can operate on structured input. They have been previously successfully applied to model com- positionality in natural language using parse-tree-based structural representations. Even though these architectures are deep in structure, they lack the capacity for hierarchical representation that exists in conventional deep feed-forward networks as well as in recently investigated deep recurrent neural networks. In this work we introduce a new architecture — a deep recursive neural network (deep RNN) — constructed by stacking multiple recursive layers. We evaluate the proposed model on the task of fine-grained sentiment classification. Our results show that deep RNNs outperform associated shallow counterparts that employ the same number of parameters. Furthermore, our approach outperforms previous baselines on the sentiment analysis task, including a multiplicative RNN variant as well as the re- cently introduced paragraph vectors, achieving new state-of-the-art results. We provide exploratory analyses of the effect of multiple layers and show that they capture different aspects of compositionality in language. 1 Introduction Deep connectionist architectures involve many layers of nonlinear information processing [1]. This allows them to incorporate meaning representations such that each succeeding layer potentially has a more abstract meaning. Recent advancements in efficiently training deep neural networks enabled their application to many problems, including those in natural language processing (NLP).

Recently, a variety of model designs and methods have blossomed in the context of natural language processing (NLP). In this paper, we review significant deep learning related models and methods that have been employed for numerous NLP tasks and provide a walk-through of their evolution. We also summarize, compare and contrast the various models and put forward a detailed understanding of the past, present and future of deep learning in NLP. Index Terms Natural Language Processing, Deep Learning, Word2Vec, Attention, Recurrent Neural Networks, Convolutional Neural Net- works, LSTM, Sentiment Analysis, Question Answering, Dialogue Systems, Parsing, Named-Entity Recognition, POS Tagging, Semantic Role Labeling I. INTRODUCTION Natural language processing (NLP) is a theory-motivated range of computational techniques for the automatic analysis and representation of human language. NLP research has evolved from the era of punch cards and batch processing, in which the analysis of a sentence could take up to 7 minutes, to the era of Google and the likes of it, in which millions of webpages can be processed in less than a second [1]. NLP enables computers to perform a wide range of natural language related tasks at all levels, ranging from parsing and part-of-speech (POS) tagging, to machine translation and dialogue systems.

  • Recognizing Logical Entailment: Reasoning with Recursive and Recurrent Neural Networks
    Recognizing Logical Entailment: Reasoning with Recursive and Recurrent Neural Networks MSc Thesis (Afstudeerscriptie) written by Mathijs S. Mul (born October 14th, 1993 in Nottingham, United Kingdom) under the supervision of Dr. Willem Zuidema, and submitted to the Board of Examiners in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MSc in Logic at the Universiteit van Amsterdam. Date of the public defense: Members of the Thesis Committee: July 9th, 2018 Dr. Iacer Calixto Dr. Raquel Fernández Dr. Jakub Szymanik Prof. Dr. Yde Venema (chair) Dr. Willem Zuidema 0 Recognizing Logical Entailment: Reasoning with Recursive and Recurrent Neural Networks Mathijs S. Mul Abstract This thesis studies the ability of several compositional distributional models to recog- nize logical entailment relations. We first investigate the performance of recursive neural matrix and tensor networks on an artificially generated data set labelled according to a natural logic calculus. Several issues with this set-up are identified, which we aim to solve by introducing a new task: First-Order Entailment Recognition. In combination with an automated theorem prover and model builder, an artificial language with higher grammatical complexity is used to generate a new data set, whose labels are determined by the semantics of first-order logic. The tree-shaped networks perform well on the new task, as opposed to a bag-of-words baseline. Qualitative analysis is performed to re- veal meaningful clusters on the level of word embeddings and sentence vectors. A novel recurrent architecture is proposed and evaluated on the same task. The high testing scores obtained by GRU cells in particular prove that recurrent models can learn to apply first-order semantics without any cues about syntactic structure or lexicalization.

  • A Primer on Neural Network Models for Natural Language Processing
    Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research 57 (2016) 345{420 Submitted 9/15; published 11/16 A Primer on Neural Network Models for Natural Language Processing Yoav Goldberg [email protected] Computer Science Department Bar-Ilan University, Israel Abstract Over the past few years, neural networks have re-emerged as powerful machine-learning models, yielding state-of-the-art results in fields such as image recognition and speech processing. More recently, neural network models started to be applied also to textual natural language signals, again with very promising results. This tutorial surveys neural network models from the perspective of natural language processing research, in an attempt to bring natural-language researchers up to speed with the neural techniques. The tutorial covers input encoding for natural language tasks, feed-forward networks, convolutional networks, recurrent networks and recursive networks, as well as the computation graph abstraction for automatic gradient computation. 1. Introduction For over a decade, core NLP techniques were dominated by machine-learning approaches that used linear models such as support vector machines or logistic regression, trained over very high dimensional yet very sparse feature vectors. Recently, the field has seen some success in switching from such linear models over sparse inputs to non-linear neural-network models over dense inputs. While most of the neural network techniques are easy to apply, sometimes as almost drop-in replacements of the old linear classifiers, there is in many cases a strong barrier of entry. In this tutorial I attempt to provide NLP practitioners (as well as newcomers) with the basic background, jargon, tools and methodology that will allow them to understand the principles behind the neural network models and apply them to their own work.
