Description

Introduction

Deep Semantic Similarity Learning with Deep Structured Semantic Models (DSSM) is a key method in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and information retrieval. DSSM models map text into dense vector representations that capture the semantic relationships between words, phrases, or entire documents. By leveraging deep learning, DSSM enables systems to compute semantic similarity between queries and documents, making it highly valuable for search engines, recommendation systems, and conversational AI. This training will guide you through the process of learning deep semantic similarity using DSSM, exploring its architecture, applications, and techniques for optimizing and scaling these models.
