Merriam-Webster unabridged

Word representations induced from models with discrete latent variables
(e.g. HMMs) have been shown to be beneficial in many NLP applications. In this
work, we exploit labeled syntactic dependency trees and formalize the induction
problem as unsupervised learning of tree-structured hidden Markov models.
Syntactic functions are used as additional observed variables in the model,
influencing both transition and emission components. Such syntactic information
can potentially lead to capturing more fine-grain and functional distinctions
between words, which, in turn, may be desirable in many NLP applications. We
evaluate the word representations on two tasks — named entity recognition and
semantic frame identification. We observe improvements from exploiting
syntactic function information in both cases, and the results rivaling those of
state-of-the-art representation learning methods. Additionally, we revisit the
relationship between sequential and unlabeled-tree models and find that the
advantage of the latter is not self-evident.

What is Transfer Learning?

Transfer learning is one of the most important breakthroughs in machine learning! It helps us to use the models created by others.

Since everyone doesn’t have access to billions of text snippets and GPU’s/TPU’s to extract patterns from it. If someone can do it and pass on the learnings then we can directly use it and solve business problems.

When someone else creates a model on a huge generic dataset and passes only the model to others for use. This is known as transfer learning because everyone doesn’t have to train the model on such a huge amount of data, hence, they “transfer” the learnings from others to their system.

Transfer learning is really helpful in NLP. Specially vectorization of text, because converting text to vectors for 50K records also is slow. So if we can use the pre-trained models from others, that helps to resolve the problem of converting the text data to numeric data, and we can continue with the other tasks, such as classification or sentiment analysis, etc.

Stanford’s GloVe and Google’s Word2Vec are two really popular choices in Text vectorization using transfer learning.


Word2Vec

Word2vec is not a single algorithm but a combination of two techniques – CBOW(Continuous bag of words) and Skip-gram model.

Both of these are shallow neural networks that map word(s) to the target variable which is also a word(s). Both of these techniques learn weights of the neural network which acts as word vector representations.

Basically each word is represented as a vector of numbers.

word2vec vectors for sample words
Sample word2vec vectors

CBOW

CBOW(Continuous bag of words) predicts the probability of a word to occur given the words surrounding it. We can consider a single word or a group of words.

Skip-gram model

The Skip-gram model architecture usually tries to achieve the reverse of what the CBOW model does. It tries to predict the source context words (surrounding words) given a target word (the center word)

Which one should be used?

For a large corpus with higher dimensions, it is better to use skip-gram but it is slow to train. Whereas CBOW is better for small corpus and is faster to train too.

skip gram vs CBOW models in word2Vec
CBOW vs Skip-Gram

Word2Vec vectors are basically a form of word representation that bridges the human understanding of language to that of a machine.

They have learned representations of text in an n-dimensional space where words that have the same meaning have a similar representation. Meaning that two similar words are represented by almost similar vectors(set of numbers) that are very closely placed in a vector space.

For example, look at the below diagram, the words King and Queen appear closer to each other. Similarly, the words Man and Woman appear closer to each other due to the kind of numeric vectors assigned to these words by Word2Vec. If you compute the distance between two words using their numeric vectors, then those words which are related to each other with a context will have less distance between them.

Case Study: Support Ticket Classification using Word2Vec

In a previous case study, I showed you how can you convert Text data into numeric using TF-IDF. And then use it to create a classification model to predict the priority of support tickets.

In this case study, I will use the same dataset and show you how can you use the numeric representations of words from Word2Vec and create a classification model.

Problem Statement: Use the Microsoft support ticket text description to classify a new ticket into P1/P2/P3.

You can download the data required for this case study here.

Reading the support ticket data

This data contains 19,796 rows and 2 columns. The column”body” represents the ticket description and the column “urgency” represents the Priority.

import pandas as pd

import numpy as np

import warnings

warnings.filterwarnings(‘ignore’)

# Reading the data

TicketData=pd.read_csv(‘supportTicketData.csv’)

# Printing number of rows and columns

print(TicketData.shape)

# Printing sample rows

TicketData.head(10)

Support Ticket Data


Visualising the distribution of the Target variable

Now we try to see if the Target variable has a balanced distribution or not? Basically each priority type has enough rows to be learned.

If the data would have been imbalanced, for example very less number of rows for the P1 category, then you need to balance the data using any of the popular techniques like over-sampling, under-sampling, or SMOTE.

# Number of unique values for urgency column

# You can see there are 3 ticket types

print(TicketData.groupby(‘urgency’).size())

# Plotting the bar chart

%matplotlib inline

TicketData.groupby(‘urgency’).size().plot(kind=‘bar’);

Support ticket data target variable

The above bar plot shows that there are enough rows for each ticket type. Hence, this is balanced data for classification.


Count Vectorization: converting text data to numeric

This step will help to remove all the stopwords and create a document term matrix.

We will use this matrix to do further processing. For each word in the document term matrix, we will use the Word2Vec numeric vector representation.

# Creating the vectorizer

# Converting the text to numeric data

X = vectorizer.fit_transform(corpus)

#print(vectorizer.get_feature_names())

# Preparing Data frame For machine learning

# Priority column acts as a target variable and other columns as predictors

CountVectorizedData=pd.DataFrame(X.toarray(), columns=vectorizer.get_feature_names())

CountVectorizedData[‘Priority’]=TicketData[‘urgency’]

print(CountVectorizedData.shape)

Word2Vec conversion:

Now we will use the Word2Vec representation of words to convert the above document term matrix to a smaller matrix, where the columns are the sum of the vectors for each word present in the document.

For example, look at the below diagram. The flow is shown for one sentence, the same happens for every sentence in the corpus.

  • The numeric representation of each word is taken from Word2Vec.
  • All the vectors are added, hence producing a single vector
  • That single vector represents the information of the sentence, hence treated as one row.

Note: If you feel that your laptop is hanging due to the processing required for the below commands, you can use google colab notebooks!

Downloading Google’s word2Vec model

  • We will Use the Pre-trained word2Vec model from google, It contains word vectors for a vocabulary of 3 million words.
  • Trained on around 100 billion words from the google news dataset.

# Each word is a vector of 300 numbers

GoogleModel[‘hello’].shape

# Looking at a sample vector for a word

GoogleModel[‘hello’]

Sample Word2Vec vector


Finding Similar words

This is one of the interesting features of Word2Vec. You can pass a word and find out the most similar words related to the given word.

In the below example, you can see the most relatable word to “king” is “kings” and “queen”. This was possible because of the context learned by the Word2Vec model. Since words like “queen” and “prince” are used in the context of “king”. the numeric word vectors for these words will have similar numbers, hence, the cosine similarity score is high.

# Finding similar words

# The most_similar() function finds the cosine similarity of the given word with

# other words using the word2Vec representations of each word

GoogleModel.most_similar(‘king’, topn=5)

word2vec similarity

# Checking if a word is present in the Model Vocabulary

Converting every sentence to a numeric vector

For each word in a sentence, we extract the numeric form of the word and then simply add all the numeric forms for that sentence to represent the sentence.

Training ML classification models

Now the data is ready for machine learning. There are 300-predictors and one target variable. We will use the below algorithms and select the best one out of them based on the accuracy scores you can add more algorithms to this list as per your preferences.

  • Naive Bayes
  • KNN
  • Logistic Regression
  • Decision Trees
  • AdaBoost

Naive Bayes

This algorithm trains very fast! The accuracy may not be very high always but the speed is guaranteed!

Adaboost

This is a tree based boosting algorithm. If the data is not high dimensional, we can use this algorithm. otherwise it takes lot of time to train.

Training the best model on full data

Logistic regression algorithm is producing the highest accuracy on this data, hence, selecting it as final model for deployment.

# Generating the Logistic model on full data

# This is the best performing model

clf = LogisticRegression(C=10,penalty=‘l2’, solver=‘newton-cg’)

FinalModel=clf.fit(X,y)


Making predictions on new cases

To deploy this model, all we need to do is write a function which takes the new data as input, performs all the pre-processing required and passes the data to the Final model.

Conclusion

Transfer learning has made NLP research faster by providing an easy way to share the models produced by big companies and build on top of that. Similar to Word2Vec we have other algorithms like GloVe, Doc2Vec, and BERT which I have discussed in separate case studies.

I hope this post helped you to understand how Word2Vec vectors are created and how to use them to convert any text into numeric form.

Consider sharing this post with your friends to spread the knowledge and help me grow as well! 🙂
