Dual Density Operators and Natural Language Meaning
Density operators allow for representing ambiguity about a vector representation, both in quantum theory and in distributional natural language meaning. Formally equivalently, they allow for discarding part of the description of a composite system, where we consider the discarded part to be the context. We introduce dual density operators, which allow for two independent notions of context. We demonstrate the use of dual density operators within a grammatical-compositional distributional framework for natural language meaning. We show that dual density operators can be used to simultaneously represent: (i) ambiguity about word meanings (e.g. queen as a person vs. queen as a band), and (ii) lexical entailment (e.g. tiger -> mammal). We provide a proof-of-concept example.

A Measurement-Based Quantum-Like Language Model for Text Matching
Quantum language models have attracted extensive attention in natural language processing tasks. Nevertheless, in this field measurement operators are mostly generated by randomly initialized parameter matrices, which ca…

Quantum Methods for Managing Ambiguity in Natural Language Processing
The Categorical Compositional Distributional (DisCoCat) framework models meaning in natural language using the mathematical framework of quantum theory, expressed as formal diagrams. DisCoCat diagrams can be associated w…

The DisCoCat model of natural language meaning assigns meaning to a sentence given: (i) the meanings of its words, and, (ii) its grammatical structure. The recently introduced DisCoCirc model extends this to text consist…
SentenceDensity Matrices with Metric for Derivational Ambiguity
Recent work on vector-based compositional natural language semantics has proposed the use of density matrices to model lexical ambiguity and (graded) entailment (e.g. Piedeleu et al 2015, Bankova et al 2019, Sadrzadeh et…
