I used to be like that when I was younger and in earlier stages of my career. As time passed, the pride of achieving the status worn off, as did the novelty of problems I was solving. Many problems turned out to be reoccurring, so I moved o

It's when you talk about young men in kinder gardens that you realize how ridiculous this whole discussion truly is. There will never be 50:50 young men to young women in kinder gardens. Not even 20:80. That much is obvious. Most young

Not sure what all of this has to do with the linked article, which discusses purely the scientific merit of claims of bias in STEM.

Soderbergh's Schizopolis has a lot of scenes with fake or, better yet, subtext language. One of my favorites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eOLEdTG7Gc

How about the moral imperative "we should treat men and women the same", as opposed to "women are heavily oppressed, we must discriminate in their favor"? Would that imperative be justified by stating a difference?

Perhaps it's better to set it to 2 years, then. A clock that's counting time towards its own death. There is some grim poetry in that.

Ah, you're right, word2vec assigns one vector to each word, as opposed to one vector to each meaning. Then the problem remains: we can't differentiate between homonyms. But it seems it's been solved, too: https://g

Actually, I have an idea, albeit not without some doubts. Let x1 be the number of vectors matching A, x2 the number of vectors matching B, etc, till xn. Let c1..cn be a particular selection of vectors. Now my main assumption here is that in

Also, this makes me wonder what other things you can do with vectors. If you compute dot product between a verb or a noun with vector "singular"-"plural", will it give a positive value for plurals and a negative for sing

Thanks! That paper is extremely helpful. Still, there is one thing missing to complete the picture for me right now. At the input, I have a list of words that I want to index or query. When indexing, they usually form a sentence, when query

Thanks, I know about HebMorph. Its authors don't want it to be used for commercial purposes (at least for free), so that limits its usability beyond simple experiments. As to your second link, it confirms my suspicions that lemmatizing

4) But recall that the language in question is such that stemming is hard. If you expand every form of every word in Hebrew, you obtain something like 600,000 words. And many of them have completely different meanings due to syntactic coinc

Some clarifying questions: 1) Do words in a generic corpus (such as Wikipedia) actually form well-separated clusters? 2) Is it correct that you find word clusters in the corpus as a preprocessing step (as opposed to at indexing or query tim

How can this be used for full-text search, e.g. with Lucene? The first step in indexing a document for full-text search is reducing each word to its base form, and similarly for a search string. While it's not a difficult problem in En

Asking as someone who barely has any clue in this field: is there a way to use this for full-text search, e.g. Lucene? I know from experience that for some languages (e.g. Herew) there are no good stemmers available out of the box, so can y
