Bilingual English-German word embedding models for scientific text

<p>This data set contains three word embedding models, constructed from the same training corpus of English and German parallel scientific texts (abstracts and research project descriptions). All text was pre-processed by language-specific stemming with the Porter stemming algorithm, removing numbers, and lower-casing.</p> <p>The first model is a 1000-dimensional Latent Semantic Analysis model, constructed from concatenating the English and German texts. The input data was a&nbsp;m&times;n (297,852&times;923,864) document-term matrix of tf-idf weights. This was processed with truncated SVD. There are two files, the word vectors in file lsa_1000_Vmat.csv (the V* term by latent factors matrix of right singular values) and the dimension weights in lsa_1000_d_weights.csv (the 1000 values of the diagonal of the <span class="math-tex">\(\Sigma\)</span> matrix.</p> <p>lsa_1000_Vmat.csv has two fields, the term and its vector representation in LSA space, separated by a &quot;|&quot; character. The structure looks like this:</p> <p>tarifplural|{5.00599733151825e-08,-1.43071379136936e-08,8.32862290483082e-08,-6.08010721687266e-08,1.15831140150142e-07,-2.46470313387358e-08,3.43215595753282e-07,6.24301666802575e-07,-2.62907158945831e-07,-1.04120313981517e-07,4.5864574355164e-07,-2.31799632277312e-07,8.37354377858843e-07,8.22507467711628e-07,4.07585381069368e-07,-4.26358988941922e-08,-8.38652991154651e-07,1.98091851171759e-07,-3.94768548759816e-08,-4.28802181962385e-07, ...}</p> <p>The other two models are a basic Random Indexing and a Reflective Random Indexing model, contained in same file, RI_training.csv. Both models have 1000 dimensions. The data structure is as follows.</p> <ul> <li>language: either &quot;en&quot; (English) or &quot;de&quot; (German), the language of the term</li> <li>term: the term as a character string</li> <li>term_collection_count: integer, number of times the term occurred in the training data</li> <li>c_vector: vector of 1000 reals, RI context vector of the term. formatted like this: &quot;{0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0.12309149,0,0,-0.12309149,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, ...}&quot;</li> <li>n_docs: integer, number of different documents which contained the term</li> <li>c_vector_o2: vector of 1000 reals, RRI context vector of the term, formatted like c_vector above</li> </ul> <p>1,034,860 rows.</p> <p>All files are aggressively compressed with GNU gzip and will require much more disk space when uncompressed.&nbsp; Note the special formatting of the vector numeric variables, which are different for the two models.</p>
