Project summary
Within the project, basic research will be conducted on compositional distributional semantics employed in modelling the meaning of phrases and sentences. A compositional distributional semantic model endeavours to determine the meaning of sentences or phrases based on the sophisticated procedure of composing distributional word vectors, and to generate a vector representation of this meaning. The degree of similarity between two vectors, which belong to the same vector space but represent meanings of different sentences, can be estimated with similarity measures. With respect to the Polish language, this scientific issue has been studied neither by us nor by other members of the natural language processing community in Poland. Within our pioneering studies, we will investigate whether it is possible to estimate compositional distributional semantic models for languages with a complex inflectional system and relatively free word order, such as Polish.
