Hi Boris, Thank you very much for sharing your experience with us! Is it possible to ask you for more information?
I have only just recently used d4lj with some introductory material, however I have also felt doc2vec could also be quite useful, although my understanding of it is still limited. My current understanding is that doc2vec as an extension of word2vec, can capture a more generalized context (the document) instead of just focusing on the context of a single word, in order to provide features useful to classify that document. The advantage would be to better capture latent information that exist in the document (such as the order of words), instead of just averaging word vectors, or through other approaches on the document level (would love some feedback on this) The generalizations could hurt the classification performance in some tasks, but seem to be more useful when the target documents are larger. It could also be possible to chose the "document" to be a single word as well, reducing the underlying matrix to an array, does that make sense? Therefore, we could also use document based vectors for mid to high-layer tasks (doc cat, sentiment, profile etc..). What do you think? It would be fantastic to clarify, I believe that would also motivate more people to pitch in and better assist with this. Thanks, Anthony Hi William I have never heard of Features2Vec. I think for low-level tasks, pre-linguistic tasks such as text classification where we don't want to build models and have a one-fits-all solution, Word2Vec works well. I used it in industrial environment for text classification, some information extraction and content generation tasks. So I think it should also work for low-level OpenNLP tasks.

I am new to DeepLearning, so I have no idea the issues we would face. I was wondering if we can use Features2Vec instead of Word2Vec, does it make any sense? The idea was to use DL in low level NLP tasks where we don't have parse trees yet. 2016-06-29 6:34 GMT-03:00 Boris Galitsky <bgalit...@hotmail.com>: > Hi guys > > I should mention how we used DeepLearning4J for the OpenNLP.Similarity > project at > > https://github.com/bgalitsky/relevance-based-on-parse-trees > > > The main question is how word2vec models and linguistic information such > as part trees complement each other.
