Capturing Discriminative Attributes on Text Representation Learning

Published: 21 December 2018 Publication History

Abstract

Semantic representation for natural language text is an active area of research in many realms of Information retrieval, natural language processing, and machine learning. Semantic models based on similarity are common to bridge the semantic gap in representation. These model do capture the one-way sense of similarity but for a better understanding of the text in a semantic context, a discriminating criterion is also important. Some very similar objects may have some peculiar differences that enable human for better understanding, using the same motivation an automatic extraction of these differences and enable them for semantically defining the relationship is vital for semantic models. In this work, we propose an approach to the automatic extraction of discriminating attribute(s) for a pair of terms, in order to contrast and augment the semantic model. Semantic model with discriminative power can be very useful in many applications.
