Word Embeddings for the Armenian Language: Intrinsic and Extrinsic Evaluation

원문 초록

In this work, we intrinsically and extrinsically evaluate and compare existing word embedding models for the Armenian language. Alongside, new embeddings are presented, trained using GloVe, fastText, CBOW, SkipGram algorithms. We adapt and use the word analogy task in intrinsic evaluation of embeddings. For extrinsic evaluation, two tasks are employed: morphological tagging and text classification. Tagging is performed on a deep neural network, using ArmTDP v2.3 dataset. For text classification, we propose a corpus of news articles categorized into 7 classes. The datasets are made public to serve as benchmarks for future models.
