Recent developments in the mathematics of word meaning
Nov. 8, 2020In the last 6-8 years, computational linguistics has been revolutionized by word embeddings, i.e., mappings that assign n-dimensional Euclidean space vectors to each word. Nothing characterizes the rapidity of development better than the fact that when Gábor Prószéky spoke about these in 2017, the contextualized embeddings that assign different vectors to the same word depending on the context did not exist. To date, the first such systems have been cited in more than ten thousand articles, and countless newer models have been developed that are similar in principle but differ in detail. The present talk focuses on what we optimize during the treaning process, how and why, and we review the results of Hungarian workshops, such as huBERT and other systems developed in SZTAKI and in collaboration with the Institute of Linguistics and the University of Pécs.
Artificial Intelligence Exhibition: text anlysis and word models
Sept. 12, 2019At the first and second exhibition of the Artificial Intelligence Coalition, human language understanding was represented by researchers from the MTA Research Institute for Linguistics. Visitors could learn about two technologies: the e-magyar Hungarian text analysis chain and Hungarian word embeddings that represent words in systems based on machine learning (i.e. artificial intelligence).
