Semantic embedding is one of the most fundamental tasks of natural language processing (NLP). It aims to represent textual elements with low-dimensional latent variables while preserving their discriminative features. ... Automatic text classification is a ubiquitous application of semantic embedding. 2, record 1, English, - semantic%20embedding

[...] lorsque les entités sont fournies avec des propriétés ou des listes d'interactions, les approches s'aidant de représentations structurées tirent parti de ces attributs et de ces relations entre entités. Des techniques basées sur les plongements sémantiques sont ainsi capables d'obtenir des représentations vectorielles précises, intégrant les relations structurelles. 1, record 1, French, - plongement%20s%C3%A9mantique

En el trabajo [...] se propone una nueva red neuronal convolucional híbrida recurrente (RHCNN) para la extracción de DDI [interacciones medicamentosas] de la literatura biomédica. En la capa de incrustación, los textos que mencionan dos entidades (dos medicamentos) se representan como una secuencia de incrustaciones semánticas e incrustaciones de posición. En particular, la integración semántica completa se obtiene mediante la fusión de información entre la inserción de una palabra y su información contextual que se aprende por estructura recurrente. 1, record 1, Spanish, - incrustaci%C3%B3n%20sem%C3%A1ntica

Few-shot and zero-shot learning allow models to adapt to new tasks with minimal or no labeled examples. Self-supervised pre-training is proving effective for few-shot and zero-shot learning by creating representations that generalize well to new data, even with limited labeled samples. 3, record 3, English, - self%2Dsupervised%20pre%2Dtraining

pré-entraînement auto-supervisé; pré-entrainement auto-supervisé : Même si ces formes sont courantes, les mots construits avec le préfixe «pré-» s’écrivent en principe sans trait d’union. Il en va de même pour les mots formés avec le préfixe «auto-», sauf lorsque l’élément qui suit le préfixe commence par les voyelles «i» ou «u». 1, record 3, French, - pr%C3%A9entra%C3%AEnement%20autosupervis%C3%A9
