[1601.03764] Linear Algebraic Structure of Word Senses, with Applications to Polysemy

Tags:

> Here it is shown that multiple word senses reside
in linear superposition within the word
embedding and simple sparse coding can recover
vectors that approximately capture the
senses

> Each extracted word sense is accompanied by one of about  2000 “discourse atoms” that gives a succinct description of which other words co-occur with that word sense.

> The success of the approach is mathematically explained using a variant of
the random walk on discourses model

("random walk": a generative model for language). Under the assumptions of this model,  there
exists a linear relationship between the vector of a
word w and the vectors of the words in its contexts (It is not the average of the words in w's context, but in a given corpus the matrix of the linear relationship does not depend on w. It can be estimated, and so we can compute the embedding of a word from the contexts it belongs to)
