1. What is it?
This paper shows that the recent embedding model cannot capture math meaning for numbers.
2. What is amazing compared to previous studies?
developed an analysis framework to test 2 properties,
magnitude (e.g. 3 < 4 )
numeration (e.g. 3 = three )
3. Where is the key to technologies and techniques?
They defined the analysis framework,
a property p is defined as a triple (x, x+, _x__)
x is closer to x+ than _x__ under p
They set 3 types of _x__
As above, the condition is severe in order of 1,2,3.
They used equations as above like below,
Magnitude task
Numeration task
4. How did validate it?
They evaluate magnitude and numeration.
using off-the-shelf models(non-retrained)
The BC-magnitude score is high, but other scores(OVA-MAG, SC-MAG, and Numeration) is low.
It means these methods can learn the proximate notion of magnitude, not precisely(completely)
using retrained models
The same result as non-retrained.
5. Is there a discussion?
This work also raises important questions about other categories of word-like tokens that need to be treated like special cases.
