Abstract :
The context plays an important role in meaning construction and representation. Indeed, words are interpreted differently based on their contexts. Deep neural network have recorded recently a great success in representing the words’ meaning into one vector. Some researchers address the issue of different meaning of a word by constructing different vectors. However, the first category assumes a single state for each word while the second requires either meaning inventories or a preprocessing step to cluster contexts for each word. The latter ignores complicated correlations among words as well as their contexts. In this paper, we investigate another direction consists of representing the word meaning by an evolved vector over its set of context. To this end, we introduce a novel deep model that consists of using auto-encoders recursively based on left/right context around a target word. We evaluate our model on the semantic similarity task. Experimental results demonstrate that our deep model outperforms several competitive models that represent word meaning either with single vector or multiple vectors.
