However, we find that some dimensions of the trained word embedding are abnormal. We verify our conjecture via removing these abnormal dimensions using Kolmogorov-Smimov test and experiment on several benchmark datasets for semantic relatedness measurement. The experimental results confirm our finding. Interestingly, some of the tasks outperform the state-of-the-art model SensEmbed by simply removing these abnormal dimensions. The novel rule of thumb technique which leads to better performance is expected to be useful in practice. © 2016 owner/author(s).glove; semantic relatedness; word embeddingEmbeddings; ART model; Benchmark datasets; Embeddings; Glove; Kolmogorov; Less is mores; Semantic relatedness; State of the art; Word embedding; Word representations; Semanticsconference paper10.1145/2872518.28893812-s2.0-85070777597https://doi.org/10.1145/2872518.2889381
