Retrofitting Word Representations for Unsupervised Sense Aware Word Similarities (L18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Standard word embeddings lack the ability to distinguish senses of a word by projecting them to exactly one vector. |
| Approach: | They propose to retrofit standard word embeddings to produce sense-aware embeddable vectors using external resources as sense inventories. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method improves word similarity and relatedness scores on multiple word embeddings and established word similarities, sometimes up to an impressive margin of +0.15 Spearman correlation score. |
