In fact tensors should capture ideally both paradigmatic and synthagmatic properties of a word in a sentence given the fact that they are usually made up of matrices, that is at least couples of vectors where the rows are represented by embeddings. The question is do matrices represent all needed semantic and syntactic properties of a sentence? I doubt it and in fact when it comes to deep implicit content they certainly fail. But also with OOVWs or simply rare words no reasonable outcome is obtained. Rodolfo
