Elmo is a well-known word embedding model as well. It uses CNN to transfer words to raw word vectors. Then it uses bi-lstm and calculate the weighted average vectors of the raw word vectors and the two hidden layers to get the final word vectors. It's proposed as a pre-trained language model mainly to solve polysemy problem.

1. LSA based method.
This kind of method is based on the intuition of SVD similar way. They try to do SVD on term-document matrices so that get the representation vectors.
2. local context based method.
This kind of method try to use the information gotten from the local context.
e.g.Word2Vec,Glove(Glove is actually a combination of those two methods.)

Reference for LSTM

Word2vec is a technique for natural language processing. The word2vec algorithm uses a neural network model to learn word associations from a large corpus of text. Once trained, such a model can detect synonymous words or suggest additional words for a partial sentence.

GloVe is an unsupervised learning algorithm for obtaining vector representations for words. Training is performed on aggregated global word-word co-occurrence statistics from a corpus, and the resulting representations showcase interesting linear substructures of the word vector space.

Latent Semantic Analysis(LSA)-Reference

LSA is a well-known and widely used language model in natural language processing area.
LSA assumes that words that are close in meaning will occur in similar pieces of text (the distributional hypothesis). A matrix containing word counts per document (rows represent unique words and columns represent each document) is constructed from a large piece of text and a mathematical technique called singular value decomposition (SVD) is used to reduce the number of rows while preserving the similarity structure among columns. Documents are then compared by taking the cosine of the angle between the two vectors (or the dot product between the normalizations of the two vectors) formed by any two columns. Values close to 1 represent very similar documents while values close to 0 represent very dissimilar documents.
It's the basic method of Glove and many other modern methods of word embedding.

The key idea of noise constractive estimation is to learn the feature of data distribution by learning from a dichotomy problem of selecting the data points from the original dataset from a mixed dataset made up of noises and the original datasets.

Ranking loss focuses more on relative distance instead of measuring the direct difference between the output with the expectation.

Ensemble learning is a simple and effective technique for building a strong predictive model by combining the outputs of multiple, often weaker, individual models. This method aggregates the predictions from these constituent models to achieve a more robust and superior performance than any single model could attain on its own.

Ensemble Learning

BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) stands out as one of the most popular and extensively used pre-trained sequence encoding models in the field of Natural Language Processing. As a foundational model, it is trained using a self-supervised approach that combines two tasks: masked language modeling (MLM) and next sentence prediction (NSP). In MLM, the model predicts randomly masked words from their context, enabling it to learn deep bidirectional language representations. This dual-task training makes BERT a versatile foundation model adaptable to a wide array of NLP applications.
