Recent approaches are typically based on either\nnoun-compound representations or paraphrases. While the former has initially\nshown promising results, recent work suggests that the success stems from\nmemorizing single prototypical words for each relation. We explore a neural\nparaphrasing approach that demonstrates superior performance when such\nmemorization is not possible.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1803.08073v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1803.08073v1.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":"olive-oil-is-made-of-olives-baby-oil-is-made","repo_url":"https://github.com/tensorflow/models/tree/master/research/lexnet_nc","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"tf","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"memorization","task_name":"Memorization"},{"task_slug":null,"task_name":"Relation"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1803.08073","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
