• Abstract: Word feature vectors have been proven to improve many NLP tasks. With recent advances in unsupervised learning of these feature vectors, it became possible to train it with much more data, which also resulted in better quality of learned features. Since it learns joint probability of latent features of words, it has the advantage that we can train it without any prior knowledge about the goal task we want to solve. We aim to evaluate the universal applicability property of feature vectors, which has been already proven to hold for many standard NLP tasks like part-of-speech tagging or syntactic parsing. In our case, we want to understand the topical focus of text documents and design an efficient representation suitable for discriminating different topics. The discriminativeness can be evaluated adequately on text categorisation task. We propose a novel method to extract discriminative keywords from documents. We utilise word feature vectors to understand the relations between words better and also understand the latent topics which are discussed in the text and not mentioned directly but inferred logically. We also present a simple way to calculate document feature vectors out of extracted discriminative words. We evaluate our method on the four most popular datasets for text categorisation. We show how different discriminative metrics influence the overall results. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach by achieving state-of-the-art results on text categorisation task using just a small number of extracted keywords. We prove that word feature vectors can substantially improve the topical inference of documents' meaning. We conclude that distributed representation of words can be used to build higher levels of abstraction as we demonstrate and build feature vectors of documents.

  As the vocabulary grows, the vector space's dimension increases, which can lead to a vast model size. This paper explores word embedding dimension reduction. We propose an efficient and effective weakly-supervised feature selection method named WordFS.

  We show that when target phrases reside inside noisy context, representing the full sentence with a single dense vector is not sufficient for effective phrase retrieval. We show that this technique is much more effective for phrase mining, yet requires considerable compute to obtain useful span representations.

  Often-overlooked design choice is the retrieval unit in which the corpus is indexed, e.g. document, passage, or sentence. We introduce a novel retrieval unit, proposition, for dense retrieval. Experiments reveal that indexing a corpus by fine-grained units such as propositions significantly outperforms passage-level units in retrieval tasks.

  A text entails a hypothesis if and only if the true value of the hypothesis follows the text. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to identifying the textual entailment relationship between text and hypothesis. We employ an element-wise Manhattan distance vector-based feature that can identify the semantic entailment relationship between the text-hypothesis pair.

  We propose a method for learning word representations that follows this basic strategy. We take advantage of contextualized language models (CLMs) rather than bags of word vectors to encode contexts. We show that this simple strategy leads to high-quality word vectors, which are more predictive of semantic properties than word embeddings and existing CLM-based strategies.

• Intrinsic Probing through Dimension Selection [69.52439198455438]
  Most modern NLP systems make use of pre-trained contextual representations that attain astonishingly high performance on a variety of tasks. Such high performance should not be possible unless some form of linguistic structure inheres in these representations, and a wealth of research has sprung up on probing for it. In this paper, we draw a distinction between intrinsic probing, which examines how linguistic information is structured within a representation, and the extrinsic probing popular in prior work, which only argues for the presence of such information by showing that it can be successfully extracted.
