We train compositional models on observed compounds, more specifically the composed distributed representations of their constituents across a time-stamped corpus, while giving it corrupted instances (where head or modifier are replaced by a random constituent) as negative evidence. The model captures generalisations over this data and learns what combinations give rise to plausible compounds and which ones do not. After training, we query the model for the plausibility of automatically generated novel combinations and verify whether the classifications are accurate. For our best model, we find that in around 85{\%} of the cases, the novel compounds generated are attested in previously unseen data. An additional estimated 5{\%} are plausible despite not being attested in the recent corpus, based on judgments from independent human raters.",
