The goal of the competition was to measure semantic similarity between two given sentences on a scale from 0 to 5. At the same time the solution should replicate human language understanding. The presented model is a novel hybrid of recursive auto-encoders from deep learning (RAE) and a !WordNet award-penalty system, enriched with a number of other similarity models and features used as input for Linear Support Vector Regression.||

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.||

Review of BERT-based Models for Polish Language  Delivered in Polish.

In recent years, a series of BERT-based models improved the performance of many natural language processing systems. During this talk, we will briefly introduce the BERT model as well as some of its variants. Next, we will focus on the available BERT-based models for Polish language and their results on the KLEJ benchmark. Finally, we will dive into the details of the new model developed in cooperation between ICS PAS and Allegro.
