Self-Normalization Properties of Language Modeling

Jacob Goldberger, Oren Melamud

Self-normalizing discriminative models approximate the normalized probability of a class without having to compute the partition function. In the context of language modeling, this…

A Simple Language Model based on PMI Matrix Approximations

Oren Melamud, Ido Dagan, Jacob Goldberger

In this study, we introduce a new approach for learning language models by training them to estimate word-context pointwise mutual information (PMI), and then deriving the desired…

PMI Matrix Approximations with Applications to Neural Language Modeling

Oren Melamud, Ido Dagan, Jacob Goldberger

The negative sampling (NEG) objective function, used in word2vec, is a simplification of the Noise Contrastive Estimation (NCE) method. NEG was found to be highly effective in lear…

The Role of Context Types and Dimensionality in Learning Word Embeddings

Oren Melamud, David McClosky, Siddharth Patwardhan +1

We provide the first extensive evaluation of how using different types of context to learn skip-gram word embeddings affects performance on a wide range of intrinsic and extrinsic…
