    March 21, 2017

    Topic modelling is a technique to automatically discover the hidden topics in each document. The basic idea is that words with similar meaning will occur in similar documents. A document is then modeled and described by topics coverages with word distributions. Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI) and ...

  • Vector Representations of Words

    October 25, 2016

    Distributed RepresentationIn basic NLP tasks, each word is treated as discrete atomic unit. The word vector is filled with 0s and a single 1 meaning word apprearance. It’s easy to see that this one-hot representation is very sparse whose dimensionality is as large as the vocabulary size. It can b...
