Models proposing these\nrepresentations have gained popularity in the recent years, but the issue of\nthe most adequate evaluation method still remains open. This paper presents an\nextensive overview of the field of word embeddings evaluation, highlighting\nmain problems and proposing a typology of approaches to evaluation, summarizing\n16 intrinsic methods and 12 extrinsic methods. I describe both widely-used and\nexperimental methods, systematize information about evaluation datasets and\ndiscuss some key challenges.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1801.09536v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1801.09536v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"a-survey-of-word-embeddings-evaluation","repo_url":"https://github.com/avi-jit/SWOW-eval","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":{"status":"unanswered"}},{"paper_slug":"a-survey-of-word-embeddings-evaluation","repo_url":"https://github.com/bakarov/bakarov.github.io","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"tf","reach":{"status":"unanswered"}}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"embeddings-evaluation","task_name":"Embeddings Evaluation"},{"task_slug":"survey","task_name":"Survey"},{"task_slug":"word-embeddings","task_name":"Word Embeddings"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1801.09536","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
