Abstract
A method for estimating a quality of semantic match of a first sentence to a second sentence comprises outputting a first hierarchy of representations of the first sentence at increasing degrees of semantic compression, outputting a second hierarchy of representations of the second sentence at increasing degrees of semantic compression, comparing a selected representation in the first hierarchy to each of a plurality of representations in the second hierarchy, comparing a selected representation in the second hierarchy to each of a plurality of representations in the first hierarchy, and outputting a match value indicating a quality of semantic match between the first sentence and the second sentence, the match value based at least on the comparisons.
