Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Real-valued vectors are useful for representing the meanings of words. This paper describes a method for acquiring such vectors from a corpus by using a neural network. We modified Miikkulainen's FGREP so that the neural network outputs case-roles instead of word representations ; this modification decreased the number of necessary units and increased the speed of learning. The acquired semantic representations showed a distribution that reflects the usage of each word in the corpus. We also confirmed the generalisation ability of our network with cross validation tests. Finally, we present ideas to extend our method to syntactic categories higher than words.
