4 Advanced Word Vector Algorithms

In Chapter 3, Word2vec – Learning Word Embeddings, we introduced you to Word2vec, the basics of learning word embeddings, and the two common Word2vec algorithms: skip-gram and CBOW. In this chapter, we will discuss several other word vector algorithms:

GloVe – Global Vectors
ELMo – Embeddings from Language Models
Document classification with ELMo

First, you will learn a word embedding learning technique known as Global Vectors (GloVe) and the specific advantages that GloVe has over skip-gram and CBOW.

You will also look at a recent approach for representing language called Embeddings from Language Models (ELMo). ELMo has an edge over other algorithms as it is able to disambiguate words, as well as capture ...

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
