Next stop in our NLP timeline is 2013, the introduction of low dimensional dense word vectors - so-called "word embeddings" - based on distributed semantics, as e.g. word2vec by Mikolov et al. from Google, which enabled representation learning on text.

Efficient Estimation of Word Representations in Vector Space
We propose two novel model architectures for computing continuous vector representations of words from very large data sets. The quality of these representations is measured in a word similarity task, and the results are compared to the previously best performing techniques based on different types of neural networks. We observe large improvements in accuracy at much lower computational cost, i.e. it takes less than a day to learn high quality word vectors from a 1.6 billion words data set. Fur…

7th_graders: Vickers 7th Graders (1981)
A small multiplex network of friendships among 29 seventh grade students in Victoria, Australia. Students nominated classmates for three different activities (who do you get on with in the class, who are your best friends, and who would you prefer to work with). Edge direction for each of these three types of edges indicates if node i nominated node j, and the edge weight gives the frequency of this nomination. Students 1-12 are boys and 13-29 ar…

Vector bundles on bielliptic surfaces: Ulrich bundles and degree of irrationality
This paper deals with two problems about vector bundles on bielliptic surfaces. The first is to give a classification of Ulrich bundles on such surfaces $S$, which depends on the topological type of $S$. In doing so, we study the weak Brill-Noether property for moduli spaces of sheaves with isotropic Mukai vector. Adapting an idea of Moretti, we also interpret the problem of determining the degree of irrationality of bielliptic surfaces in terms of the existence of certain stable vector bundles…

Deterministic Switching of the Néel Vector by Asymmetric Spin Torque
Néel vector, the order parameter of collinear antiferromagnets, serves as a state variable in associated antiferromagnetic (AFM) spintronic devices to encode information. A deterministic switching of Néel vector is crucial for the write-in operation, which, however, remains a challenging problem in AFM spintronics. Here we demonstrate, based on analytical derivation and macro-spin simulations, that Néel vector switching can be generally achieved via a current-induced spin torque, provided th…

So last night, after watching the Russian Victory Day ‘24 video for contrast, I thought “what the hell” & went ahead & watched1️⃣ the PBS YT video of the “June 24 Military2️⃣ Parade” to see if it was as bad as all that
(Short Answer: Yes and No)
But this guy was the one that caught my sympathy as “you poor dude”.
