Appications of Generalized Relations in Linguistics and Cognition

Bob Coecke‚ Fabrizio Genovese‚ Martha Lewis and Dan Marsden

Abstract

Categorical compositional models of natural language exploit grammatical structure to calculate the meaning of sentences from the meanings of individual words. This approach outperforms conventional techniques for some standard NLP tasks. More recently, similar compositional techniques have been applied to conceptual space models of cognition.
