Convolutional Neural Network Architectures for Matching Natural Language Sentences

Hu, Baotian, Lu, Zhengdong, Li, Hang et al.

Understand

Semantic matching is of central importance to many natural language tasks \cite{bordes2014semantic,RetrievalQA}.

  • A successful matching algorithm needs to adequately model the internal structures of language objects and the interaction between them.
  • As a step toward this goal, we propose convolutional neural network models for matching two sentences, by adapting the convolutional strategy in vision and speech.
  • The proposed models not only nicely represent the hierarchical structures of sentences with their layer-by-layer composition and pooling, but also capture the rich matching patterns at different levels.
