24 - Improving Hypernymy Detection with an Integrated Path-based and Distributional Method

ACL 2016 outstanding paper, by Vered Shwartz, Yoav Goldberg and Ido
Dagan. Waleed presents this paper, discussing hypernymy detection
and the methods used in the paper. It's pretty similar to work in
relation extraction and knowledge base completion, so we also talk
a bit about connections to other methods we're familiar with.
Encoding paths using an RNN like they do (and like Arvind
Neelakantan did for KBC) improves recall substantially, at the cost
of some precision, which makes intuitive sense.
