  • Patent number: 11423238
    Abstract: Provided are sentence embedding method and apparatus based on subword embedding and skip-thoughts. To integrate skip-thought sentence embedding learning methodology with a subword embedding technique, a skip-thought sentence embedding learning method based on subword embedding and methodology for simultaneously learning subword embedding learning and skip-thought sentence embedding learning, that is, multitask learning methodology, are provided as methodology for applying intra-sentence contextual information to subword embedding in the case of subword embedding learning. This makes it possible to apply a sentence embedding approach to agglutinative languages such as Korean in a bag-of-words form. Also, skip-thought sentence embedding learning methodology is integrated with a subword embedding technique such that intra-sentence contextual information can be used in the case of subword embedding learning.
