One Representation per Word — Does it make Sense for Composition?
Table 1: Results for the Mitchell and Laptata Mitchell_2010 dataset.
['Model', 'AN', 'NN', 'VO', 'Average']
None of the strategies for selecting a sense configuration for the multi-sense representations could compete with the single sense representations on this task. One possible explanation is that the commonly adopted closest sense strategy is not effective for composition since the composition of incorrect senses may lead to spuriously high similarities (for two “implausible” sense configurations).
