Alemi","Paul Ginsparg"],"abstract":"We explore the use of semantic word embeddings in text segmentation\nalgorithms, including the C99 segmentation algorithm and new algorithms\ninspired by the distributed word vector representation. By developing a general\nframework for discussing a class of segmentation objectives, we study the\neffectiveness of greedy versus exact optimization approaches and suggest a new\niterative refinement technique for improving the performance of greedy\nstrategies. We compare our results to known benchmarks, using known metrics. We\ndemonstrate state-of-the-art performance for an untrained method with our\nContent Vector Segmentation (CVS) on the Choi test set. Finally, we apply the\nsegmentation procedure to an in-the-wild dataset consisting of text extracted\nfrom scholarly articles in the arXiv.org database.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1503.05543v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1503.05543v1.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":"text-segmentation-based-on-semantic-word","repo_url":"https://github.com/chschock/textsplit","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"articles","task_name":"Articles"},{"task_slug":"segmentation","task_name":"Segmentation"},{"task_slug":"text-segmentation","task_name":"Text Segmentation"},{"task_slug":"word-embeddings","task_name":"Word Embeddings"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1503.05543","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
