• Title: A Comprehensive Empirical Evaluation of Existing Word Embedding Approaches
• Authors: Obaidullah Zaland, Muhammad Abulaish, Mohd. Fazil
• Abstract summary: We present the characteristics of existing word embedding approaches and analyze them with regard to many classification tasks. Traditional approaches mostly use matrix factorization to produce word representations, and they are not able to capture the semantic and syntactic regularities of the language very well. On the other hand, Neural-network-based approaches can capture sophisticated regularities of the language and preserve the word relationships in the generated word representations.

• Abstract: Vector-based word representations help countless Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks capture the language's semantic and syntactic regularities. In this paper, we present the characteristics of existing word embedding approaches and analyze them with regard to many classification tasks. We categorize the methods into two main groups - Traditional approaches mostly use matrix factorization to produce word representations, and they are not able to capture the semantic and syntactic regularities of the language very well. On the other hand, Neural-network-based approaches can capture sophisticated regularities of the language and preserve the word relationships in the generated word representations. We report experimental results on multiple classification tasks and highlight the scenarios where one approach performs better than the rest.

  Temporal grounding is the task of locating a specific segment from an untrimmed video according to a query sentence. We introduce a new Compositional Temporal Grounding task and construct two new dataset splits. We argue that the inherent structured semantics inside the videos and language is the crucial factor to achieve compositional generalization.

• Enhanced word embeddings using multi-semantic representation through lexical chains [1.8199326045904998]
  We propose two novel algorithms, called Flexible Lexical Chain II and Fixed Lexical Chain II. These algorithms combine the semantic relations derived from lexical chains, prior knowledge from lexical databases, and the robustness of the distributional hypothesis in word embeddings as building blocks forming a single system. Our results show the integration between lexical chains and word embeddings representations sustain state-of-the-art results, even against more complex systems.

  This paper proposes a visual representation method to explicitly enhance conventional word embedding with multiple-aspect senses from visual guidance. We build a small-scale word-image dictionary from a multimodal seed dataset where each word corresponds to diverse related images. Experiments on 12 natural language understanding and machine translation tasks further verify the effectiveness and the generalization capability of the proposed approach.

  Distributed language representation has become the most widely used technique for language representation in various natural language processing tasks. Most of the natural language processing models that are based on deep learning techniques use already pre-trained distributed word representations, commonly called word embeddings. selecting the appropriate word embeddings is a perplexing task since the projected embedding space is not intuitive to humans.
