Breaking Sticks and Ambiguities with Adaptive Skip-gram
Recently proposed Skip-gram model is a powerful method for learning
high-dimensional word representations that capture rich semantic relationships
between words. However, Skip-gram as well as most prior work on learning word
representations does not take into account word ambiguity and maintain only
single representation per word. Although a number of Skip-gram modifications
were proposed to overcome this limitation and learn multi-prototype word
representations, they either require a known number of word meanings or learn
them using greedy heuristic approaches. In this paper we propose the Adaptive
Skip-gram model which is a nonparametric Bayesian extension of Skip-gram
capable to automatically learn the required number of representations for all
words at desired semantic resolution. We derive efficient online variational
learning algorithm for the model and empirically demonstrate its efficiency on
word-sense induction task
Clustering of syntactic and discursive information for the dynamic adaptation of Language Models
Presentamos una estrategia de agrupamiento de elementos de diálogo, de tipo semántico y discursivo. Empleando Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) agru- pamos los diferentes elementos de acuerdo a un criterio de distancia basado en correlación. Tras seleccionar un conjunto de grupos que forman una partición del espacio semántico o discursivo considerado, entrenamos unos modelos de lenguaje estocásticos (LM) asociados a cada modelo. Dichos modelos se emplearán en la adaptación dinámica del modelo de lenguaje empleado por el reconocedor de habla incluido en un sistema de diálogo. Mediante el empleo de información de diálogo (las probabilidades a posteriori que el gestor de diálogo asigna a cada elemento de diálogo en cada turno), estimamos los pesos de interpolación correspondientes a cada LM. Los experimentos iniciales muestran una reducción de la tasa de error de palabra al emplear la información obtenida a partir de una frase para reestimar la misma frase
Lexicon Infused Phrase Embeddings for Named Entity Resolution
Most state-of-the-art approaches for named-entity recognition (NER) use semi
supervised information in the form of word clusters and lexicons. Recently
neural network-based language models have been explored, as they as a byproduct
generate highly informative vector representations for words, known as word
embeddings. In this paper we present two contributions: a new form of learning
word embeddings that can leverage information from relevant lexicons to improve
the representations, and the first system to use neural word embeddings to
achieve state-of-the-art results on named-entity recognition in both CoNLL and
Ontonotes NER. Our system achieves an F1 score of 90.90 on the test set for
CoNLL 2003---significantly better than any previous system trained on public
data, and matching a system employing massive private industrial query-log
data.Comment: Accepted in CoNLL 201
