Why So Down? The Role of Negative (and Positive) Pointwise Mutual Information in Distributional Semantics

1 code implementation19 Aug 2019 Alexandre Salle, Aline Villavicencio

In distributional semantics, the pointwise mutual information ($\mathit{PMI}$) weighting of the cooccurrence matrix performs far better than raw counts.

Think Again Networks and the Delta Loss

1 code implementation26 Apr 2019 Alexandre Salle, Marcelo Prates

This short paper introduces an abstraction called Think Again Networks (ThinkNet) which can be applied to any state-dependent function (such as a recurrent neural network).

Restricted Recurrent Neural Tensor Networks: Exploiting Word Frequency and Compositionality

no code implementations ACL 2018 Alexandre Salle, Aline Villavicencio

Increasing the capacity of recurrent neural networks (RNN) usually involves augmenting the size of the hidden layer, with significant increase of computational cost.

Matrix Factorization using Window Sampling and Negative Sampling for Improved Word Representations

1 code implementation ACL 2016 Alexandre Salle, Marco Idiart, Aline Villavicencio

In this paper, we propose LexVec, a new method for generating distributed word representations that uses low-rank, weighted factorization of the Positive Point-wise Mutual Information matrix via stochastic gradient descent, employing a weighting scheme that assigns heavier penalties for errors on frequent co-occurrences while still accounting for negative co-occurrence.
