• Abstract: Understanding human language has been a sub-challenge on the way of intelligent machines. The study of meaning in natural language processing (NLP) relies on the distributional hypothesis where language elements get meaning from the words that co-occur within contexts. The revolutionary idea of distributed representation for a concept is close to the working of a human mind in that the meaning of a word is spread across several neurons, and a loss of activation will only slightly affect the memory retrieval process. Neural word embeddings transformed the whole field of NLP by introducing substantial improvements in all NLP tasks. In this survey, we provide a comprehensive literature review on neural word embeddings. We give theoretical foundations and describe existing work by an interplay between word embeddings and language modelling. We provide broad coverage on neural word embeddings, including early word embeddings, embeddings targeting specific semantic relations, sense embeddings, morpheme embeddings, and finally, contextual representations. Finally, we describe benchmark datasets in word embeddings' performance evaluation and downstream tasks along with the performance results of/due to word embeddings.

  We argue that clarity on the notion of text is crucial for reproducible and generalizable NLP. We introduce a two-tier taxonomy of linguistic and non-linguistic elements that are available in textual sources and can be used in NLP modeling.

• Contextualized Semantic Distance between Highly Overlapped Texts [85.1541170468617]
  Overlapping frequently occurs in paired texts in natural language processing tasks like text editing and semantic similarity evaluation. This paper aims to address the issue with a mask-and-predict strategy. We take the words in the longest common sequence as neighboring words and use masked language modeling (MLM) to predict the distributions on their positions. Experiments on Semantic Textual Similarity show NDD to be more sensitive to various semantic differences, especially on highly overlapped paired texts.

  Target-oriented opinion words extraction (TOWE) is a new subtask of target-oriented sentiment analysis. We show that BiLSTM-based models can effectively encode position information into word representations. We also adapt a graph convolutional network (GCN) to enhance word representations by incorporating syntactic information.

• Low-Dimensional Structure in the Space of Language Representations is Reflected in Brain Responses [62.197912623223964]
  We show a low-dimensional structure where language models and translation models smoothly interpolate between word embeddings, syntactic and semantic tasks, and future word embeddings. We find that this representation embedding can predict how well each individual feature space maps to human brain responses to natural language stimuli recorded using fMRI. This suggests that the embedding captures some part of the brain's natural language representation structure.

• Can a Fruit Fly Learn Word Embeddings? [16.280120177501733]
  The fruit fly brain is one of the best studied systems in neuroscience. We show that a network motif can learn semantic representations of words and can generate both static and context-dependent word embeddings. It is shown that not only can the fruit fly network motif achieve performance comparable to existing methods in NLP, but, additionally, it uses only a fraction of the computational resources.

• Blind signal decomposition of various word embeddings based on join and individual variance explained [11.542392473831672]
  We propose to use a novel joint signal separation method - JIVE to jointly decompose various trained word embeddings into joint and individual components. We conducted empirical study on word2vec, FastText and GLoVE trained on different corpus and with different dimensions. We found that by mapping different word embeddings into the joint component, sentiment performance can be greatly improved for the original word embeddings with lower performance.

  We proposed the CogniFNN framework, which is the first attempt at using fuzzy neural networks to extract non-linear and non-stationary characteristics for evaluations of English word embeddings. We used 15 human cognitive datasets across three modalities: EEG, fMRI, and eye-tracking. Compared to the recent pioneer framework, our proposed CogniFNN showed smaller prediction errors of both context-independent (GloVe) and context-sensitive (BERT) word embeddings.
