Re: [AIRG] Generalizing Word Embeddings, 10/24

[Aubrey Barnard <barnard@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

AIRG,

This is just a reminder that Jinman will be giving a practice talk this 
afternoon. It will be about using n-grams to generalize word embeddings 
in deep network models for language similarity, morphology, and 
part-of-speech tagging.

4pm, CS 3310
https://arxiv.org/abs/1809.04259

I hope to see you there!

Aubrey
