Set-Word Embeddings and Semantic Indices: A New Contextual Model for Empirical Language Analysis by Pedro Fernández de Córdoba, Carlos A. Reyes Pérez, Claudia Sánchez Arnau, Enrique A. Sánchez Pérez

“…Our main result proves the universality of our word-set embedding, proving mathematically that every word embedding based on linear space can be written as a word-set embedding (Theorem 2). Since we adopt an empirical point of view for the semantic issues, we also provide the keys for the interpretation of the results using probabilistic arguments (to facilitate the subsequent integration of the model into Bayesian frameworks for the construction of inductive tools), as well as in fuzzy set-theoretic terms. …”
