The understanding of novel compounds is a special case in which we can explore the deep generativity of natural language understanding. We report a model, PUNC, which captures the ...
Automatic acquisition of novel compounds is notoriously difficult because most novel compounds have relatively low frequency in a corpus. The current study proposes a new method t...
