Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Vector representation of words plays a major role in the natural language processing. As a fundamental unit, the vector representation is further used to solve applied problems: text classification, textual entailment, named-entity recognition. In recent times was created several models to produce word embedding vectors which uses different approaches. However, they suffer from accidents while training, such as random initialization of weights, the random order of the examples. Therefore, it is impossible to reproduce the result, and repeated experiments using the same dataset and algorithms lead to various close results. In this work, we presented methods for estimating the “dissimilarity” of the semantic spaces built by the algorithms of word embeddings and give mathematical intuition about influence of various randomness on the structure of semantic spaces.
