Unsupervised Learning of Sentence Embeddings using Compositional n-Gram Features

Computation and Language 2018-12-31 v3 Artificial Intelligence Information Retrieval

Abstract

The recent tremendous success of unsupervised word embeddings in a multitude of applications raises the obvious question if similar methods could be derived to improve embeddings (i.e. semantic representations) of word sequences as well. We present a simple but efficient unsupervised objective to train distributed representations of sentences. Our method outperforms the state-of-the-art unsupervised models on most benchmark tasks, highlighting the robustness of the produced general-purpose sentence embeddings.
