Table 14: Precision on Verb Phrase Paraphrasing
['phrase type embedding', 'Compositional global', 'Compositional simplex', 'Compositional sense', 'Aspectual global', 'Aspectual simplex', 'Aspectual sense', 'Idiomatic global', 'Idiomatic simplex', 'Idiomatic sense']
As we can see from the table, the precision improvement of sense embedding over global embedding is larger on aspectual phrases than on compositional phrases. The reason might be that preposition plays a more important semantic role in aspectual phrases than in compositional phrases.
