An unsupervised, language agnostic approach for exploiting morphological regularities present in high dimensional vector spaces by proposing a novel method for generating embeddings of words from their morphological variants using morphological transformation operators.

Abstract

We present an unsupervised, language agnostic approach for exploiting morphological regularities present in high dimensional vector spaces. We propose a novel method for generating embeddings of words from their morphological variants using morphological transformation operators. We evaluate this approach on MSR word analogy test set with an accuracy of 85% which is 12% higher than the previous best known system.
