A simple method to construct such representation is to aggregate vectors generated by a language model or extracted from word embeddings. However, higher quality representations can be obtained by fine-tuning a language model on a dataset of semantically similar sentence pairs. In this presentation, we will introduce methods for learning sentence encoders based on the Transformer architecture as well as our experiences with training such models for the Polish language. In addition, we will discuss approaches for building large datasets of paraphrases using publicly available corpora. We will also show a practical application of sentence encoders in a system developed for finding abusive clauses in consumer agreements.|| ||<style="border:0;padding-top:10px">Please see also [[http://nlp.ipipan.waw.pl/NLP-SEMINAR/previous-e.html|the talks given in 2000–2015]] and [[http://zil.ipipan.waw.pl/seminar-archive|2015–2020]].|| |

In particular, we examine the notion of “negative examples”, the unobserved or insignificant word-context co-occurrences, in spectral methods. we provide a new formulation for the word embedding problem by proposing a new intuitive objective function that perfectly justifies the use of negative examples. With the goal of efficient learning of embeddings, we propose a kernel similarity measure for the latent space that can effectively calculate the similarities in high dimensions. Moreover, we propose an approximate alternative to our algorithm using a modified Vantage Point tree and reduce the computational complexity of the algorithm with respect to the number of words in the vocabulary. We have trained various word embedding algorithms on articles of Wikipedia with 2.3 billion tokens and show that our method outperforms the state-of-the-art in most word similarity tasks by a good margin. We will round up our discussion with some general thought s about the use of embeddings in modern NLP.|| |

Surprisingly, even minimal changes in the command (adding the possibility that the information does not exist) cause a significant decrease in effectiveness, especially with longer texts.|| ||<style="border:0;padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px">'''11 March 2024'''|| ||<style="border:0;padding-left:30px;padding-bottom:0px">'''Mateusz Krubiński''' (Charles University in Prague)|| ||<style="border:0;padding-left:30px;padding-bottom:5px">[[http://zil.ipipan.waw.pl/seminarium-online|{{attachment:seminarium-archiwum/teams.png}}]] '''Talk title will be given shortly'''  {{attachment:seminarium-archiwum/icon-en.gif|Talk in Polish.}}|| ||<style="border:0;padding-left:30px;padding-bottom:15px">Talk summary will be made available soon.|| |
