Aligning Multilingual Word Embeddings for Cross-Modal Retrieval Task

Karl Aberer, Rémi Philippe Lebret, Alireza Mohammadshahi

In this paper, we propose a new approach to learn multimodal multilingual embeddings for matching images and their relevant captions in two languages. We combine two existing objective functions to make images and captions close in a joint embedding space ...

Evolution of Topics and Novelty in Science

Orion B Penner

Methods of estimating the similarity between individual publications is an area of long-standing interest in the scientometrics community. Traditional methods have generally relied on references and other metadata, while text mining approaches based on tit ...

Message Distortion in Information Cascades

Robert West, Manoel Horta Ribeiro, Kristina Gligoric

Information diffusion is usually modeled as a process in which immutable pieces of information propagate over a network. In reality, however, messages are not immutable, but may be morphed with every step, potentially entailing large cumulative distortions ...

Kenneth Younge, Omid Shahmirzadi, Adam Lugowski

Automatic measurement of semantic text similarity is an important task in natural language processing. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of different vector space models to perform this task. We address the real-world problem of modeling patent-to ...

Simple Unsupervised Keyphrase Extraction using Sentence Embeddings

Martin Jaggi, Claudiu-Cristian Musat, Kamil Bennani-Smires

Keyphrase extraction is the task of automatically selecting a small set of phrases that best describe a given free text document. Keyphrases can be used for indexing, searching, aggregating and summarizing text documents, serving many automatic as well as ...

Building a Question-Answering Chatbot using Forum Data in the Semantic Space

Pierre Dillenbourg, Marc Laperrouza, Khalil Mrini

We build a conversational agent which knowledge base is an online forum for parents of autistic children. We collect about 35,000 threads totalling some 600,000 replies, and label 1% of them for usefulness using Amazon Mechanical Turk. We train a Random Fo ...

Building Word Embeddings for Solving Natural Language Processing

Rémi Philippe Lebret

Word embedding is a feature learning technique which aims at mapping words from a vocabulary into vectors of real numbers in a low-dimensional space. By leveraging large corpora of unlabeled text, such continuous space representations can be computed for c ...

Wikipedia's Miracle

Frédéric Kaplan, Nicolas Nova

Wikipedia has become the principle gateway to knowledge on the web. The doubts about information quality and the rigor of its collective negotiation process during its first couple of years have proved unfounded. Whether this delights or horrifies us, Wiki ...
