摘要:

概念纠缠是量子认知中的一个重要现象,因为它意味着经典概率不能模拟非组成的概念现象。虽然已经开发了一些心理实验来测试概念纠缠,但这还没有在自然语言处理的背景下进行探索。在本文中,我们应用的假设,一个文件的话是一个人在写的文件时,在脑海中的概念的痕迹。因此,如果这些概念是纠缠在一起的,我们应该能够在文件中观察到它们纠缠在一起的痕迹。特别是,我们测试的概念纠缠对比语言模拟与文本语料库中获得的结果。我们的分析表明,概念的纠缠是密切相关的语言结构的方式。我们讨论了概念建模和自然语言处理的背景下,这一发现的影响。

英文摘要:

Conceptual entanglement is a crucial phenomenon in quantum cognition because it implies that classical probabilities cannot model non--compositional conceptual phenomena. While several psychological experiments have been developed to test conceptual entanglement, this has not been explored in the context of Natural Language Processing. In this paper, we apply the hypothesis that words of a document are traces of the concepts that a person has in mind when writing the document. Therefore, if these concepts are entangled, we should be able to observe traces of their entanglement in the documents. In particular, we test conceptual entanglement by contrasting language simulations with results obtained from a text corpus. Our analysis indicates that conceptual entanglement is strongly linked to the way in which language is structured. We discuss the implications of this finding in the context of conceptual modeling and of Natural Language Processing.
