7 Conclusion

  1. What hyperparameter choices mattered most for Skip-gram quality, according to Mikolov et al.?
    The model architecture (Skip-gram vs CBOW), vector size, subsampling rate and training window size. The best choices are task-specific. Negative sampling learns especially good vectors for frequent words; hierarchical softmax with subsampling did best for rare phrases.
