Abstract
Semantic sentence matching is a fundamental technology in natural language processing. In the previous work, neural networks with attention mechanism have been successfully extended to semantic matching. However, existing deep models often simply use some operations such as summation and max-pooling to represent the whole sentence to a single distributed representation. We present a deep architecture to match two Chinese sentences, which only relies on alignment instead of recurrent neural network after attention mechanism used to get interaction information between sentence-pairs, it becomes more lightweight and simple. In order to capture original features enough, we employ a pooling operation named attention-pooling to convergence information from the whole sentence. We also explore several excellent performance English models on Chinese data. The experimental results show that our method can achieve better results than other models on Chinese dataset.
