In the last few years, one of the exciting veins of research in the NLP community has centered around text embeddings. From Alec Radford’s inspiring work on discovering unsupervised sentiment, to Facebook’s more recent fasttext and Infersent, the number of approaches for creating text embeddings has never been greater. In this session, Slater Victoroff will share the basics of embeddings, and how they can enable learning on small datasets. Then he will step through a series of interesting demos showing off strange properties of embeddings that can be used to change the way that users interact with text.

A video recording of the session will be available online at no charge approximately one week after the event.  Visit https://www.youtube.com/c/withthebestconf to view it.
