>> Title: Learning Representations of Language from Text
>>
>> Abstract:
>> Learning good general-purpose representations of written language can be
>> useful for a wide range of applications, but there are still a number of
>> open questions in the field, from model architecture to learning
>> strategies. In this talk, we start by briefly going over these questions,
>> then review some recent work related to two of them: the choice of the
>> reading level for text data and of a learning objective for unsupervised
>> training. First, we describe two recent architectures which look at
>> sub-word information to build word and text representations. Then,
>> considering the prevalence of language modeling as an unsupervised
>> objective, we propose an adaptive hierarchical approach which speeds up
>> learning while avoiding some of the pitfalls of comparable methods.
>> Finally, we propose an alternative discriminative learning objective for
>> sentence representation systems based on discourse modeling.

>> Bio:
>> Yacine is currently pursuing a PhD at NYU in David Sontag's Clinical
>> Machine Learning group, where his research interests include graphical
>> models, applying machine learning to medical data, and language
>> understanding. His current focus is on using unsupervised methods to take
>> advantage of the vast amounts of freely available text data when learning
>> language representation systems. Yacine holds a Diplome d'ingenieur from
>> Ecole Polytechnique (2011) and an M.Sc. in Machine Learning from ENS Cachan
>> (2012).
