Patent number: 11823013Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a computer-implemented method for performing unsupervised feature representation learning for text data. The method generates reference text data having a set of random text sequences, in which each text sequence of set of random text sequences is of a random length and comprises a number of random words, and in which each random length is sampled from a minimum length to a maximum length. The random words of each text sequence in the set are drawn from a distribution.
