Word embeddings

Practice & homework

The practice for this week takes place in notebooks. Just open them and follow instructions from there.

  • Seminar: ./seminar.ipynb
  • Homework: ./homework.ipynb

Unless explicitly said otherwise, all subsequent weeks follow the same pattern (notebook with instructions).

If you have any difficulties with notebooks, just open them in Open In Colab.

Embedding space walk

More materials (optional)

  • On hierarchical & sampled softmax estimation for word2vec page
  • GloVe project page
  • FastText project repo
  • Semantic change over time - oberved through word embeddings - arxiv
  • Another cool link that you could have shared, but decided to hesitate. Or did you?
