Title
The Impact Of Specialized Corpora For Word Embeddings In Natural Langage Understanding
Abstract
Recent studies in the biomedical domain suggest that learning statistical word representations (static or contextualized word embeddings) on large corpora of specialized data improve the results on downstream natural language processing (NLP) tasks. In this paper, we explore the impact of the data source of word representations on a natural language understanding task. We compared embeddings learned with Fasttext (static embedding) and ELMo (contextualized embedding) representations, learned either on the general domain (Wikipedia) or on specialized data (electronic health records, EHR). The best results were obtained with ELMo representations learned on EHR data for the two sub-tasks (+7% and + 4% of gain in F1-score). Moreover, ELMo representations were trained with only a fraction of the data used for Fasttext.
