{"pk":25576,"title":"Hierarchical Reasoning with Distributed Vector Representations","subtitle":null,"abstract":"We demonstrate that distributed vector representations are capable\nof hierarchical reasoning by summing sets of vectors representing\nhyponyms (subordinate concepts) to yield a vector\nthat resembles the associated hypernym (superordinate concept).\nThese distributed vector representations constitute a potentially\nneurally plausible model while demonstrating a high\nlevel of performance in many different cognitive tasks. Experiments\nwere run using DVRS, a word embedding system\ndesigned for the Sigma cognitive architecture, and Word2Vec,\na state-of-the-art word embedding system. These results contribute\nto a growing body of work demonstrating the various\ntasks on which distributed vector representations perform competently.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"hierarchical reasoning; word embeddings; language\nmodeling; concepts; distributed representations"}],"section":"Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/47s3m5h0","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Cody","middle_name":"","last_name":"Kommers","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of California, Los Angeles","department":""},{"first_name":"Volkan","middle_name":"","last_name":"Ustun","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Southern California","department":""},{"first_name":"Abram","middle_name":"","last_name":"Demski","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Southern California","department":""},{"first_name":"Paul","middle_name":"","last_name":"Rosenbloom","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Southern California","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2015-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/25576/galley/15200/download/"}]}
