The results of the experiments show that as the length of the context increases, the differences between languages with large and small data resources also increase. 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.|| |

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.|| |
