We explore the contributions of different vector models for computing sentence and word similarity: Collobert and Weston embeddings as well as two novel approaches, namely eigenwords and selectors. These embeddings provide different measures of distributional similarity between words, and their contexts. We used regression to combine the different similarity measures, and found that each provides partially independent predictive signal above baseline models.
