Experimental Support for a Categorical Compositional Distributional
Model of Meaning
<22>This paper provides the experimental validation that the Quantum Linguistics framework is capable of practical implementation. The mathematical vector space framework it provided was instantiated using the British National Corpus, and applied to a standard disambiguation task. The resulting system was comparably efficient and more accurate than other approaches. This work led to Sadrzadeh’s EPSRC Career Acceleration Fellowship EP/J002607/1, worth £529,968, awarded October 2011, with Google as a formal partner (Marius Pasca, Mountain-View, mars@google.com). The validation of the technique also played a major role in the multi-site EPSRC project (including Cambridge EP/I037512/1, Oxford EP/I03808X/1), worth £1.5M, awarded March 2012.
