Using low dimensional vector space to represent words has been very effective in many NLP tasks. However, it doesn't work well when faced with the problem of rare and unseen words. In this paper, we propose to leverage the knowledge in…
Representing meaning in the form of high dimensional vectors is a common and powerful tool in biologically inspired architectures. While the meaning of a set of concepts can be summarized by taking a (possibly weighted) sum of their…
As a fundamental task in natural language processing, word embedding converts each word into a representation in a vector space. A challenge with word embedding is that as the vocabulary grows, the vector space's dimension increases, which…
In this paper, we propose methods for discovering semantic differences in words appearing in two corpora based on the norms of contextualized word vectors. The key idea is that the coverage of meanings is reflected in the norm of its mean…
Word2Vec is the most popular model for word representation and has been widely investigated in literature. However, its noise distribution for negative sampling is decided by empirical trials and the optimality has always been ignored. We…
Siamese networks have gained popularity as a method for modeling text semantic similarity. Traditional methods rely on pooling operation to compress the semantic representations from Transformer blocks in encoding, resulting in…
Measuring the distance between concepts is an important field of study of Natural Language Processing, as it can be used to improve tasks related to the interpretation of those same concepts. WordNet, which includes a wide variety of…
Convolutional neural network (CNN) is a neural network that can make use of the internal structure of data such as the 2D structure of image data. This paper studies CNN on text categorization to exploit the 1D structure (namely, word…
Feature modeling of different modalities is a basic problem in current research of cross-modal information retrieval. Existing models typically project texts and images into one embedding space, in which semantically similar information…
Current approaches to learning vector representations of text that are compatible between different languages usually require some amount of parallel text, aligned at word, sentence or at least document level. We hypothesize however, that…
Convolutional neural network (CNN) and recurrent neural network (RNN) are two popular architectures used in text classification. Traditional methods to combine the strengths of the two networks rely on streamlining them or concatenating…
In this paper we explore the "vector semantics" problem from the perspective of "almost orthogonal" property of high-dimensional random vectors. We show that this intriguing property can be used to "memorize" random vectors by simply adding…
Word vector representations are well developed tools for various NLP and Machine Learning tasks and are known to retain significant semantic and syntactic structure of languages. But they are prone to carrying and amplifying bias which can…
