Using Centroids of Word Embeddings and Word Mover's Distance for Biomedical Document Retrieval in Question Answering
We propose a document retrieval method for question answering that represents documents and questions as weighted centroids of word embeddings and reranks the retrieved documents with a relaxation of Word Mover's Distance. Using biomedical questions and documents from BIOASQ, we show that our method is competitive with PUBMED. With a top-k approximation, our method is fast, and easily portable to other domains and languages.

Speeding up Word Mover's Distance and its variants via properties of distances between embeddings
The Word Mover's Distance (WMD) proposed by Kusner et al. is a distance between documents that takes advantage of semantic relations among words that are captured by their embeddings. This distance proved to be quite eff…

While the celebrated Word2Vec technique yields semantically rich representations for individual words, there has been relatively less success in extending to generate unsupervised sentences or documents embeddings. Recen…

We propose WMDO, a metric based on distance between distributions in the semantic vector space. Matching in the semantic space has been investigated for translation evaluation, but the constraints of a translation{'}s wo…

Word Mover’s Distance is a textual distance metric which calculates the minimum transport cost between two sets of word embeddings. This metric achieves impressive results on semantic similarity tasks, but is slow and di…

Search behaviour is characterised using synonymy and polysemy as users often want to search information based on meaning. Semantic representation strategies represent a move towards richer associative connections that ca…
