About Call for Papers Shared Task About RepEval 2017: The Second Workshop on Evaluating Vector Space Representations for NLP
Co-located with EMNLP 2017
This workshop deals with the evaluation of general-purpose vector representations for linguistic units (morphemes, words, phrases, sentences, etc). What distinguishes these representations (or embeddings ) is that they are not trained with a specific application in mind, but rather to capture broadly useful features of the represented units. Another way to view their usage is through the lens of transfer learning: The embeddings are trained with one objective, but applied on others.
