This study revisits
the problem of maximizing the performance of mathematical word representations
for a given task. It is aimed to improve performance in analogy and similarity
tasks by suggesting innovative weights instead of the counting weights used
conventionally in counting-based methods of generating word representations
(adding the statistics of word co-occurrences to the account). The language of
study was selected as Turkish. The root structures of Turkish words were managed
during the compilation of corpus such that each word having a suffix was
considered as a new word. The performance of the proposed co-occurrence weights
are analyzed with respect to the varying parameter and the results are
presented within the paper.

KELİME TEMSİLLERİ İÇİN TEST PERFORMANSINI GELİŞTİRMEYE YÖNELİK EŞDİZİMLİLİK AĞIRLIKLARININ SEÇİMİ

Öz

Bu çalışma, matematiksel kelime temsillerinin belirli bir görev için
performanslarının en iyilenmesi problemini yeniden ele almaktadır. Sayma
tabanlı (kelimelerin eşdizimlilik istatistiklerini hesaba katan) kelime temsili
oluşturma yöntemlerinde klasik olarak kullanılan sayma ağırlıkları yerine
yenilikçi ağırlıklar önererek analoji ve benzerlik bulma görevlerinde
performans artışı sağlamak hedeflenmektedir. Çalışma dili olarak Türkçe
seçilmiş, derlem oluşturulurken Türkçe’ye has ek-kök yapıları ek alan her
kelime yeni bir kelime gibi kabul edilecek şekilde yorumlanmıştır. Önerilen
eşdizimlilik ağırlıklarının performansı değişen parametreye göre analiz
edilerek sonuçlar çalışma içerisinde paylaşılmıştır.
