Abstract

Vector representations of words learned from large scale background texts can be used as useful features in natural language processing and machine learning applications. Word representations in previous works were often trained on large-scale unlabeled texts. However, in some scenarios, large scale background texts are not available. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a novel word representation model based on maximum-margin to train word representation using small set of background texts. Experimental results show many advantages of our method.
