- | Most of the attendants apparently understood the talk and the paper well, and a | ||
- | lively discussion followed. One of our first topics of debate was the notion of | ||
- | skyline presented in the paper. The skyline was somewhat of a supervised element | ||
- | -- the authors estimated initial parameters for a model from gold data and | ||
- | trained it afterwards. They assumed that a model with parameters estimated from | ||
- | gold data cannot be beaten by an unsupervisedly trained model. Verily, after | ||
- | training the skyline model, its accuracy dropped very significantly. The reasons | ||
- | of this were a point of surprise for us as well as for the paper' | ||
- | Complementary | + | Idea : |
- | definitely be beaten by their final model. This baseline, they called | + | Context offset tend to be close with each others, => Only save the first offsets address and the difference of others with the it |
- | " | + | |
- | used in this model. We could only speculate | + | |
- | probability distribution. | + | |
- | A point about unsupervised language modeling came out: Many linguistic phenomena | + | Question |
- | are annotated in a way that is to some extent arbitrary, and reflects more the | + | how the unigram be sorted ? |
- | linguistic theory used than the language itself, and an unsupervised model | + | Martin suggest that it must be sorted base on frequency |
- | cannot hope to get them right. The example we discussed was whether the word | + | |
- | " | + | |
- | noticed that dependency orientation in general was not a particularly strong | + | |
- | point of their parser, and so they also included an evaluation metric that | + | |
- | ignored the dependency orientations. | + | |
- | Perhaps the most crucial observations the authors made was that there is a limit | + | __Block Compression__ |
- | where feeding more data to the model training hurts its accuracy. They | + | compress |
- | progressed from short sentences to longer, and identified | + | the underline reason is only to support binary search |
- | it's best to start ignoring any more training data, at sentences | + | |
- | However, we were not 100% clear how they computed this constant. | + | |
- | If the model was to be fully unsupervised, | + | |
- | this threshold, because it cannot be safely assumed that it would be the same | + | |
- | for all languages and setups. | + | |
- | The writing style of the paper was also a matter of differing opinions. | + | ==== Decoding ==== |
- | Undeniably, it is written in a vocabulary-intensive fashion, bringing readers | + | **I. Exploiting Repetitive Queries** |
- | face to face with words like " | + | |
- | never seen before. | + | |
- | ==== Conclusion ==== | + | The method use cache to speed up the process |
+ | This simple implementation increase performance of 300% over conventional implementation | ||
+ | **II. Exploiting Scrolling Queries** | ||
- | All in all, it was a paper worth reading, well presented, and thoroughly | + | We can quickly form the context encoding of the next query by concatenating new words with saved offset from previous query |
- | discussed, bringing useful general ideas as well as interesting details. | + | |
+ | ==== Conclusion ==== | ||
+ | In summary, it was a worth reading | ||
