Techniques

Text Embeddings

Back to Top

Text embeddings allow deep learning to be effective on smaller datasets. These are often first inputs to a deep learning archiectures and most popular way of transfer learning in NLP. Embeddings are simply vectors or a more generically, real valued representations of strings. Word embeddings are considered a great starting point for most deep NLP tasks.

The most popular names in word embeddings are word2vec by Google (Mikolov) and GloVe by Stanford (Pennington, Socher and Manning). fastText seems to be a fairly popular for multi-lingual sub-word embeddings.

Word Embeddings

word2vec and GloVe

Don't use word2vec, don't use GloVe. Use fastText vectors, which are much better from the same authors. word2vec was introduced by T. Mikolov et al. when he was with Google. Performs well on word similarity and analogy tasks.

GloVe was introduced by Pennington, Socher, Manning from Stanford in 2014 as a statistical approximation to word embeddings. The word vectors are created by matrix factorizations of word-word co-occurence matrices here. Back to Top

Papers:

GloVe: Global vectors for word representation. Creates word vectors and relates word2vec to matrix factorizations. Glove source code and training data

fastText

fastText by Mikolov (from Facebook) supports sub-word embeddings in more than 200 languages. This allows it to work with out of vocabulary words as well. It captures language morphology well. It also supports a supervised classification mechanism | Back to Top
