 +  - Convolution is defined like this: <latex>(f*g)_k = \sum_i f_i g_{k-i}</latex>, so it measures the presence of structures that //complement// each other. Here, we have a measure of structures that are //similar//. So it is something different. But the main idea is the same -- we can combine smaller structures (kernels) into more complex ones. 
 +  - There is a (tiny) error in the last formula of Section 3. You cannot actually multiply tree parses, so it should read: <latex>\bar{w}^{*} \cdot h(\mathbf{x}) = \dots</latex>

 +We discussed the answers to the questions most of the time. Other issues raised in the discussion were: 
 + 
 +  * **Usability** -- the approach is only usable for //reranking// the output of some other parser. 
 +  * **Scalability** -- they only use 800 sentences and 20 candidates per sentence for training. We believe that for large data (milions of examples) this will become too complex. 
 +  * **Evaluation** -- it looks as if they used a non-standard evaluation metric to get "better" results. The standard here would be F1-score.
