TLDR
This paper combines recursive neural networks, where each morpheme is a basic unit, with neural language models to consider contextual information in learning morphologicallyaware word representations and proposes a novel model capable of building representations for morphologically complex words from their morphemes.Abstract:
Vector-space word representations have been very successful in recent years at improving performance across a variety of NLP tasks. However, common to most existing work, words are regarded as independent entities without any explicit relationship among morphologically related words being modeled. As a result, rare and complex words are often poorly estimated, and all unknown words are represented in a rather crude way using only one or a few vectors. This paper addresses this shortcoming by proposing a novel model that is capable of building representations for morphologically complex words from their morphemes. We combine recursive neural networks (RNNs), where each morpheme is a basic unit, with neural language models (NLMs) to consider contextual information in learning morphologicallyaware word representations. Our learned models outperform existing word representations by a good margin on word similarity tasks across many datasets, including a new dataset we introduce focused on rare words to complement existing ones in an interesting way.read more

Better Word Representation Vectors Using Syllabic Alphabet: A Case Study of Swahili
TL;DR: Inspired by the learning methodology of Swahili in beginner classes, respective syllables were encoded instead of characters, character n-grams or morphemes of words and generated quality word embeddings using a convolutional neural network.

Clustering of words using dictionary-learnt word representations
TL;DR: This work explores a new method for learning word representations using sparse coding, a technique usually done on signals and images, and presents an efficient sparse coding algorithm, Orthogonal Matching Pursuit, which shows an improved set of similar words using sparse code when compared to K-Means.

Vector Embedding of Wikipedia Concepts and Entities
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used deep learning to embed Wikipedia concepts and entities and evaluated their performance based on Concept Analogy and Concept Similarity tasks, and the results show that proposed approaches have the performance comparable and in some cases even higher than the state-of-the-art methods.

A neural probabilistic language model
TL;DR: The authors propose to learn a distributed representation for words which allows each training sentence to inform the model about an exponential number of semantically neighboring sentences, which can be expressed in terms of these representations.

A unified architecture for natural language processing: deep neural networks with multitask learning
Ronan Collobert,Jason Weston +1 more
TL;DR: This work describes a single convolutional neural network architecture that, given a sentence, outputs a host of language processing predictions: part-of-speech tags, chunks, named entity tags, semantic roles, semantically similar words and the likelihood that the sentence makes sense using a language model.

Recurrent neural network based language model
TL;DR: Results indicate that it is possible to obtain around 50% reduction of perplexity by using mixture of several RNN LMs, compared to a state of the art backoff language model.
