摘要:

这项工作探讨了使用音节嵌入的可能性,而不是经常使用的$n$ -gram嵌入,作为子词嵌入。我们调查了两种语言:英语和荷兰语。为此,我们还将两个标准的英语词嵌入评估数据集WordSim 353和SemEval-2017翻译成荷兰语。此外,我们还为研究界提供了两种语言的音节分解数据集。我们比较我们的方法,全字和$n$ -gram嵌入。与完整的词嵌入相比,我们获得的英语模型小20到30倍,同时保留80%的性能。对于荷兰人来说,模型小了15倍,性能保持率为70%。虽然不如我们使用的$n$ -gram基线准确,但我们的模型可以在几分钟内完成训练,而$n$ -gram方法则需要数小时。我们确定了一条在未来工作中提升性能的途径。所有代码都是公开的,以及我们收集的英语和荷兰语音节分解和荷兰语评估集翻译。

英文摘要:

This work examines the possibility of using syllable embeddings, instead of the often used $n$-gram embeddings, as subword embeddings. We investigate this for two languages: English and Dutch. To this end, we also translated two standard English word embedding evaluation datasets, WordSim353 and SemEval-2017, to Dutch. Furthermore, we provide the research community with data sets of syllabic decompositions for both languages. We compare our approach to full word and $n$-gram embeddings. Compared to full word embeddings, we obtain English models that are 20 to 30 times smaller while retaining 80% of the performance. For Dutch, models are 15 times smaller for 70% performance retention. Although less accurate than the $n$-gram baseline we used, our models can be trained in a matter of minutes, as opposed to hours for the $n$-gram approach. We identify a path toward upgrading performance in future work. All code is made publicly available, as well as our collected English and Dutch syllabic decompositions and Dutch evaluation set translations.
