From Word to Sense Embeddings: A Survey on Vector Representations of Meaning
Over the past years, distributed semantic representations have proved to be
effective and flexible keepers of prior knowledge to be integrated into
downstream applications. This survey focuses on the representation of meaning.
We start from the theoretical background behind word vector space models and
highlight one of their major limitations: the meaning conflation deficiency,
which arises from representing a word with all its possible meanings as a
single vector. Then, we explain how this deficiency can be addressed through a
transition from the word level to the more fine-grained level of word senses
(in its broader acceptation) as a method for modelling unambiguous lexical
meaning. We present a comprehensive overview of the wide range of techniques in
the two main branches of sense representation, i.e., unsupervised and
knowledge-based. Finally, this survey covers the main evaluation procedures and
applications for this type of representation, and provides an analysis of four
of its important aspects: interpretability, sense granularity, adaptability to
different domains and compositionality.Comment: 46 pages, 8 figures. Published in Journal of Artificial Intelligence

Practical recommendations for gradient-based training of deep architectures
Learning algorithms related to artificial neural networks and in particular
for Deep Learning may seem to involve many bells and whistles, called
hyper-parameters. This chapter is meant as a practical guide with
recommendations for some of the most commonly used hyper-parameters, in
particular in the context of learning algorithms based on back-propagated
gradient and gradient-based optimization. It also discusses how to deal with
the fact that more interesting results can be obtained when allowing one to
adjust many hyper-parameters. Overall, it describes elements of the practice
used to successfully and efficiently train and debug large-scale and often deep
multi-layer neural networks. It closes with open questions about the training
difficulties observed with deeper architectures
Neural‑Brane: Neural Bayesian Personalized Ranking for Attributed Network Embedding
Network embedding methodologies, which learn a distributed vector representation for each vertex in a network, have attracted considerable interest in recent years. Existing works have demonstrated that vertex representation learned through an embedding method provides superior performance in many real-world applications, such as node classification, link prediction, and community detection. However, most of the existing methods for network embedding only utilize topological information of a vertex, ignoring a rich set of nodal attributes (such as user profiles of an online social network, or textual contents of a citation network), which is abundant in all real-life networks. A joint network embedding that takes into account both attributional and relational information entails a complete network information and could further enrich the learned vector representations. In this work, we present Neural-Brane, a novel Neural Bayesian Personalized Ranking based Attributed Network Embedding. For a given network, Neural-Brane extracts latent feature representation of its vertices using a designed neural network model that unifies network topological information and nodal attributes. Besides, it utilizes Bayesian personalized ranking objective, which exploits the proximity ordering between a similar node pair and a dissimilar node pair. We evaluate the quality of vertex embedding produced by Neural-Brane by solving the node classification and clustering tasks on four real-world datasets. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of our proposed method over the state-of-the-art existing methods
