Dynamic Compositionality in Recursive Neural Networks with Structure-aware Tag Representations
share
Most existing recursive neural network (RvNN) architectures utilize only the structure of parse trees, ignoring syntactic tags which are provided as by-products of parsing. We present a novel RvNN architecture that can provide dynamic compositionality by considering comprehensive syntactic information derived from both the structure and linguistic tags. Specifically, we introduce a structure-aware tag representation constructed by a separate tag-level tree-LSTM. With this, we can control the composition function of the existing word-level tree-LSTM by augmenting the representation as a supplementary input to the gate functions of the tree-LSTM. We show that models built upon the proposed architecture obtain superior performance on several sentence-level tasks such as sentiment analysis and natural language inference when compared against previous tree-structured models and other sophisticated neural models. In particular, our models achieve new state-of-the-art results on Stanford Sentiment Treebank, Movie Review, and Text Retrieval Conference datasets.
