In semantics and pragmatics, sense relations are categorized into paradigmatic, syntagmatic, and derivational axes. Paradigmatic relations involve semantic choices within a sentence structure, while syntagmatic relations connect items within the same sentence. Examples include synonymy, hyponymy, me

Tf-idf and PPMI are sparse representations, while alternative dense vectors offer shorter lengths with non-zero elements. Dense vectors may generalize better and capture synonymy effectively compared to sparse ones. Learn about dense embeddings like Word2vec, Fasttext, and Glove, which provide effic
