Analogy tasks

A proportional analogy holds between two word pairs: a:a* :: b:b* (a is to a* as b is to b*) For example, Tokyo is to Japan as Paris is to France.

With the pair-based methods, given a:a* :: b:?, the task is to find b*.

With set-based methods, the task is to find b* given a set of other pairs (excluding b:b*) that hold the same relation as b:b*.

In NLP analogies (Mikolov's "linguistic regularities"[1]) are interpreted broadly as basically any "similarities between pairs of words" [2], not just semantic.

See Church's (2017)[3] analysis of Word2Vec, which argues that the Google analogy dataset is not as challenging as the SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) dataset. Inspection shows that the SAT analogies are all semantic (not syntactic) and involve relatively complex relations. The SemEval-2012 Task 2 website includes a taxonomy of semantic relations derived from human analysis of GRE (Graduate Record Exam) analogies by researchers at ETS (Educational Testing Service).

Methods to solve analogies

Pair-based methods for solving analogies

  • vector offset a.k.a. 3CosAdd [9]
  • 3CosMul [2]
  • others discussed by Linzen (2016)[10].

Set-based methods for solving analogies

  • 3CosAvg (vector offset averaged over multiple pairs) [11]
  • LRCos (supervised learning of the target class + cosine similarity to the b word) [11].

Pair--Pattern matrix for solving analogies

  • LRA (latent relational analysis) [12].

Dual-Space method for solving analogies

Issues with evaluating word embeddings on analogy task

There is interplay between the chosen embedding, its parameters, particular relations [8], and method of solving analogies [10] [11]. It is possible that analogies not solved by one method can be solved by another method on the same embedding. Therefore results for solving analogies with different methods should be taken as a way to explore or describe an embedding rather than evaluate it.
