Compositional embedding models build a representation (or embedding) for a linguistic structure based on its component word embeddings. We propose a Feature-rich Compositional Embedding Model (FCM) for relation extraction that is expressive, generalizes to new domains, and is easy-to-implement. The key idea is to combine both (unlexicalized) hand-crafted features with learned word embeddings. The model is able to directly tackle the difficulties met by traditional compositional embeddings models, such as handling arbitrary types of sentence annotations and utilizing global information for composition. We test the proposed model on two relation extraction tasks, and demonstrate that our model outperforms both previous compositional models and traditional feature rich models on the ACE 2005 relation extraction task, and the SemEval 2010 relation classification task. The combination of our model and a log-linear classifier with hand-crafted features gives state-of-the-art results.
In order to build a representation (embedding) for a sentence based on its component word embeddings and structural information, recent work on compositional models (stemming from the deep learning community) has designed model structures that mimic the structure of the input. For example, these models could take into account the order of the words (as in Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs)) @cite_23 or build off of an input tree (as in Recursive Neural Networks (RNNs) or the Semantic Matching Energy Function) @cite_10 @cite_3 . Several results (c.f. ) have suggested that this method of features (as opposed to hand designing them) is a promising avenue for supplanting traditional feature engineering approaches.

We introduce a novel, simple convolution neural network (CNN) architecture ‐ multi-group norm constraint CNN (MGNC-CNN) ‐ that capitalizes on multiple sets of word embeddings for sentence classification. MGNCCNN extracts features from input embedding sets independently and then joins these at the penultimate layer in the network to form a final feature vector. We then adopt a group regularization strategy that differentially penalizes weights associated with the subcomponents generated from the respective embedding sets. This model is much simpler than comparable alternative architectures and requires substantially less training time. Furthermore, it is flexible in that it does not require input word embeddings to be of the same dimensionality. We show that MGNC-CNN consistently outperforms baseline models. This paper considers the task of matching images and sentences. The challenge consists in discriminatively embedding the two modalities onto a shared visual-textual space. Existing work in this field largely uses Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) for text feature learning and employs off-the-shelf Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) for image feature extraction. Our system, in comparison, differs in two key aspects. Firstly, we build a convolutional network amenable for fine-tuning the visual and textual representations, where the entire network only contains four components, i.e., convolution layer, pooling layer, rectified linear unit function (ReLU), and batch normalisation. End-to-end learning allows the system to directly learn from the data and fully utilise the supervisions. Secondly, we propose instance loss according to viewing each multimodal data pair as a class. This works with a large margin objective to learn the inter-modal correspondence between images and their textual descriptions. Experiments on two generic retrieval datasets (Flickr30k and MSCOCO) demonstrate that our method yields competitive accuracy compared to state-of-the-art methods. Moreover, in language person retrieval, we improve the state of the art by a large margin.

However, the sentence vectors of previous models cannot accurately represent visually grounded meaning. We introduce the DT-RNN model which uses dependency trees to embed sentences into a vector space in order to retrieve images that are described by those sentences. Unlike previous RNN-based models which use constituency trees, DT-RNNs naturally focus on the action and agents in a sentence. They are better able to abstract from the details of word order and syntactic expression. DT-RNNs outperform other recursive and recurrent neural networks, kernelized CCA and a bag-of-words baseline on the tasks of finding an image that fits a sentence description and vice versa. They also give more similar representations to sentences that describe the same image. In this paper, we propose multimodal convolutional neural networks (m-CNNs) for matching image and sentence. Our m-CNN provides an end-to-end framework with convolutional architectures to exploit image representation, word composition, and the matching relations between the two modalities. More specifically, it consists of one image CNN encoding the image content, and one matching CNN learning the joint representation of image and sentence. The matching CNN composes words to different semantic fragments and learns the inter-modal relations between image and the composed fragments at different levels, thus fully exploit the matching relations between image and sentence. Experimental results on benchmark databases of bidirectional image and sentence retrieval demonstrate that the proposed m-CNNs can effectively capture the information necessary for image and sentence matching. Specifically, our proposed m-CNNs for bidirectional image and sentence retrieval on Flickr30K and Microsoft COCO databases achieve the state-of-the-art performances.
