Most existing word embedding methods can be categorized into Neural Embedding Models and Matrix Factorization (MF)-based methods. However some models are opaque to probabilistic interpretation, and MF-based methods, typically solved using…
Word embeddings have recently been shown to reflect many of the pronounced societal biases (e.g., gender bias or racial bias). Existing studies are, however, limited in scope and do not investigate the consistency of biases across relevant…
Embedding benchmarks like MTEB report a single score per model, implicitly treating robustness as a static, scalar property. We argue that embedding robustness is multidimensional, since models respond differently to different types of…
