Learning Word Embeddings from Intrinsic and Extrinsic Views

원문 초록

While word embeddings are currently predominant for natural language processing, most of existing models learn them solely from their contexts. However, these context-based word embeddings are limited since not all words' meaning can be learned based on only context. Moreover, it is also difficult to learn the representation of the rare words due to data sparsity problem. In this work, we address these issues by learning the representations of words by integrating their intrinsic (descriptive) and extrinsic (contextual) information. To prove the effectiveness of our model, we evaluate it on four tasks, including word similarity, reverse dictionaries,Wiki link prediction, and document classification. Experiment results show that our model is powerful in both word and document modeling.
