Semirings allow us to generalize many many common operations. One of the most powerful usages is the algebraic view of dynamic programming. Definition of a semiring A semiring is a 5-tuple $R = (A, \oplus, \otimes, \bar{0}, \bar{1})$ such that. $(A, \oplus, \bar{0})$ is a commutative monoid $(A, \otimes, \bar{1})$ is a monoid $\otimes$ distributes over $\oplus$. $\bar{0}$ is annihilator for $\otimes$. Monoid Let $K, \oplus$ be a set and a operation, then:...
Bag of words only takes into account the count of the words inside a document, ignoring all the syntax and boundaries. This method is very common for email classifications techniques. We can say bag of words can be some sort of pooling, it’s similar to the computer vision analogue. It’s difficult to say what is the best method (also a reason why people say NLP is difficult to teach). Introduction to bag of words Faremo una introduzione di applicazione di Naïve Bayes applicato alla classificazione di documenti....
This set of note is still in TODO Dependency Grammar has been much bigger in Europe compared to USA, where Chomsky’s grammars ruled. One of the main developers of this theory is Lucien Tesnière (1959): “The sentence is an organized whole, the constituent elements of which are words. Every word that belongs to a sentence ceases by itself to be isolated as in the dictionary. Between the word and its neighbors, the mind perceives connections, the totality of which forms the structure of the sentence....
