6.6 Word Representations

  1. How did the language model embeddings compare with Brown clusters?
    In the non-linear network they did at least as well as Brown cluster features on all tasks, and fine-tuning them helped further. In a convex (linear, CRF-like) setup with fixed representations the results were mixed, and non-convex was usually better for both.
