Two neural\narchitectures are explored: Graph Convolutional Network (GCN) and multi-head\nself-attention. GCN leverages dependency parse information, and self-attention\nattends to long-range relations. We finally propose a combined model that\nintegrates complementary information from both through a gating mechanism. The\nexperiments on a standard multilingual dataset for verbal MWEs show that our\nmodel outperforms the baselines not only in the case of discontinuous MWEs but\nalso in overall F-score.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1902.10667v2","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1902.10667v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"bridging-the-gap-attending-to-discontinuity","repo_url":"https://github.com/omidrohanian/gappy-mwes","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"tf","reach":null},{"paper_slug":"bridging-the-gap-attending-to-discontinuity","repo_url":"https://github.com/kawu/vine","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"tag","task_name":"TAG"}],"methods":[{"method_slug":"gcn","method_name":"GCN"}],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":"https://syntology.ai/paper/1902.10667","atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1902.10667","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
